During a pleasant meeting in modern facilities located in the East of Caracas, the trophy that will be presented to the champion of the Gran Caracas Caribbean Series 2023 was presented this Thursday to the media, in addition to many other personalities linked to the marketing that makes life in professional baseball in the country.
The event was organized by the Simple TV telecommunications company, which took advantage of the occasion to announce itself as the main official sponsor of the great regional tournament, to be held between February 2 and 10 of the next Gregorian calendar.
The event was attended by Ramón Ruíz Meyemberg, general director of the Caribbean Professional Baseball Confederation; in addition to Giuseppe Palmisano and Mr. Humberto Oropeza, top leader of the Venezuelan Professional Baseball League and General Manager of the Organizing Committee of the series, respectively. This trident was accompanied by Mrs. Kathy Di Battista, general manager of the television network, as well as Mr. Carlos González, director of Promotion and Sports Production of Simple TV.
“First of all I send you my greetings on behalf of Commissioner Juan Francisco Puello Herrera, who gave me the opportunity to be here today on his behalf and I thank him, as well as all of Caracas and Venezuela for the warmth they have shared with me,” This is how an enthusiastic Ramón Ruíz began his intervention, who predicted a “watershed” contest, which could mark a before and after in the history of continental baseball.
“The presidents of the other member leagues of the Confederation are very excited about what is coming. It will be a unique event, with a great strategy at the hands of SimpleTV and a very expert organizing committee led by Mr. Oropeza. I tell all Venezuelans, do not leave a single space in the La Rinconada and La Guaira stadiums. Go enjoy the best Caribbean baseball,” said the manager with a marked Mexican accent, where he comes from.
Palmisano, for his part, did not hide the satisfaction that exists within the LVBP for what has been the entire organizational process that is being carried out and the staging that it aspires to launch even before from the voice of official playball.
“On behalf of the league we are extremely pleased with what is being done so far. We will host a tournament that for the first time will have eight teams in action and that I have no doubts will be wonderful. In the same way, for the first time in history, fans will be able to interact with the trophies, both with the one that will be awarded to the champion club, and with the most important players in the series, so that they can breathe in the atmosphere that it is coming with Gran Caracas 2023”, said the also member of the Navegantes del Magallanes staff.
After Palmisano, it was the turn of Humberto Oropeza to intervene, directly responsible for the execution of the Caribbean Series 2023 project and who expressed the positivism that reigns within the entire committee he leads, despite all the vicissitudes encountered along the way.
“It has been nine long years without the Caribbean Series in Venezuela. We have a great challenge ahead of us because of everything that has happened in the country, although we are going to send a message that we are equal to any host. Mexico always sets the bar quite high, but we are going to show that there is no better place to play baseball in the Caribbean than here, with the joy and passion that characterizes our fans,” said the leader.
Oropeza also unveiled a series of extra-sports activities to provide all those attending the challenges with the opportunity to live a unique and unrepeatable experience.
