Rubén Blades compartiendo algunas anécdotas en un reciente video difundido por ‘Aprendemos Juntos’, iniciativa de contenidos impulsada por BBVA. Durante nueve minutos, que valen cada uno de sus segundos, Blades recuerda y reflexiona sobre ‘Amor y Control’, una de las composiciones más personales y conmovedoras de su carrera, y sobre el álbum en el que finalmente sería incluida en 1992.
Si te gustan los datos inéditos y las anécdotas de la salsa, no te pierdas este video.
Imposible no pensar en él hoy. Hubiera cumplido 90 años, pero NUNCA le olvidaremos porque nos regaló La jauría humana, El valle del fugitivo, El mejor, Todos los hombres del presidente, y claro, El golpe.
Te extrañamos muchísimo, Robert Redford🥹
Feliz día, mi gente de CINE🫂❤️
Rest in peace, Tommy John. 🤍⚾️
Baseball lost a man today whose impact on the game reaches far beyond the numbers he put up.
Tommy John pitched 26 seasons in Major League Baseball, was a four-time All-Star and finished his career with 288 wins and a 3.34 ERA.
In 1974, John tore the ulnar collateral ligament in his pitching elbow, an injury that, at the time, was essentially considered career-ending. He agreed to let Dodgers team physician Dr. Frank Jobe attempt an experimental reconstruction of the ligament, despite being given roughly a 1-in-100 chance of ever pitching again.
He returned to the majors in 1976 and went on to pitch 14 more seasons and win 164 more games, more victories than he had accumulated before the surgery. His willingness to take that chance, endure the rehabilitation and prove a pitcher could return changed what was possible for generations who followed him.
Today, we know that procedure simply as Tommy John surgery. It has saved and extended the careers of countless baseball players and fundamentally changed sports medicine forever.
His name became bigger than one player, one team or one era. Every time a pitcher is told a torn UCL doesn’t have to mean the end of his career, a piece of Tommy John’s legacy lives on.
288 wins. 26 seasons. And an impact on baseball that can never truly be measured.
Rest easy, Tommy. Thank you for everything you gave to the game. 🤍⚾️ #repbx #mlb #tommyjohn
@GrandSlamMLB ¿Con un equipo plagado de lesiones? Y la gerencia, le trajo algo meramente regular en la fecha límite de cambio? Creo que no debería ser despedido.
Descanse en paz.
Quizás ahora les de la gana de llevarlo al Salón de la Fama, donde debió estar hace muchos años. No solo se lo ganó en el terreno (61.6 de bWAR) sino que puso su cuerpo al servicio de sí mismo y de otros al probar un tratamiento experimental que hoy alarga y mejora centenares de carreras que de otra forma habrían terminado de forma frustrante.
Ese mismo día deberían ingresar al Dr. Frank Jobe y al Dr. James Andrews e inaugurar la suite médica del Salón de La Fama de Cooperstown.
Algunos no tuvieron la suerte de que un comité de veteranos se convierta en un club de amigos y ex-empleadores como pasó con Harold Baines.
STATEMENT FROM THE NEW YORK YANKEES:
“The New York Yankees mourn the passing of Tommy John, who was a bedrock of our rotation during his time in pinstripes and a longtime favorite of Yankees fans. While his incredible longevity and post-surgery achievements changed the fortunes and trajectory of countless athletes around the world, it also overshadowed his excellence as a pitcher, which included consecutive 20‑win seasons with the Yankees. We pause to remember the totality of his legacy — his competitiveness and skill, his penchant for conversation, his kind and gracious nature, and his stature as an athletic and medical pioneer. The Yankees extend our deepest condolences to his family and friends, including wife, Cheryl, daughter, Tamara, and sons Tommy III and Travis. We also keep his son Taylor in our hearts.”
Since this, Joshua Báez has homered two more times. Three major league plate appearances, three home runs -- the first player in big league history to go deep three times in his first game. One to left, one to center, one to right. Best debut for a hitter in big league history.
