Tal y como están las cosas, México deberá participar con dos equipos, ya que falta Puerto Rico, y no hay indicio alguno de que vaya a reaparecer el beisbol profesional allá. Por supuesto que sea la sede que sea, el espectáculo pierde lucimiento con dos participantes de un mismo sitio.
· ¿Y a ti te importa la Serie del Caribe?
Además, la Serie del Caribe sigue montándose en forma idéntica como fue inaugurada en 1949, ¡¡hace 59 años, caballeros!!.
Todo ha cambiado en el beisbol, menos eso, porque Puello y su pandilla ni siquiera piensan, menos pueden ser creativos.

En 1949, había 16 equipos en Grandes Ligas, ahora 30; no existían los playoffs en las Mayores; se jugaba en Cuba el campeonato con cuatro equuipos, todos con sede en La Habana, igual ocurría en Panamá y en Caracas. Puerto Rico sí jugaba en varias ciudades. Ni se pensaba en 1949 en el designado, no se conocían los estadios techados, ni la grama artificial, y los uniformes eran de lana y con los pantalones muy holgados; estaban prohibidos los bigotes y las melenas a los peloteros profesionales, una Coca Cola en los estadios de Grandes Ligas costaba cinco centavos y 10 centavos un perro caliente; no había televisión en colores, tampoco se suponía que alguna vez habría Clásico Mundial de Beisbol, y el Presidente de Estados Unidos era Harrry S. Truman.
Es decir, se han inventado muchas cosas desde entonces. Pero quienes conducen el beisbol del invierno tienen los cerebros menos creativos del mundo.
Tanto, que esa Serie de Maxicali va a celebrarse en tierras del Pacífico, en la sede de un equipo de la Liga Mexicana del Pacífico y sin embargo se llamará Serie del Caribe. Absurdo, ¿no?
Con gente así al frente de este beisbol, es lógico suponer que la debacle continuará hasta el final.
Entre tanto, esos personajes le sacan todo el dinero que pueden al asunto, incluso conveciendo a anunciantes internacionales de que la Serie del Caribe es mucho más importante de lo que es, mejor espectáculo de lo que es, mejor vehículo para las ventas de lo que es. En eso sí que son buenos.
