M¨¢s del HOF 2025: Ichiro invita a ¡°ese votante¡± a tomarse un trago
M¨¢s del HOF 2025: Ichiro invita a ¡°ese votante¡± a tomarse un trago
"He venido al Sal¨®n de la Fama como jugador siete veces", expres¨® Ichiro. "Esta es mi octava vez aqu¨ª, y qu¨¦ honor es estar ahora como miembro. Este es un momento muy especial".
La leyenda japonesa, quien termin¨® su carrera con 3,089 hits, fue elegido con el 99.7% de los votos, qued¨¢ndose a s¨®lo un voto de ser el segundo miembro un¨¢nime del Sal¨®n de la Fama despu¨¦s del paname?o Mariano Rivera. Ichiro incluso brome¨® sobre el escritor que no lo incluy¨® en la boleta.
"Pude recibir muchos votos de los escritores, y estoy agradecido por ello, pero hubo un escritor que no vot¨® por m¨ª", dijo Ichiro. "Me gustar¨ªa invitarlo a mi casa, tomar algo juntos y tener una buena conversaci¨®n".
Sabathia acompa?¨® a Suzuki como otro de los exaltados en su primer a?o de elegibilidad, tras registrar 3,093 ponches en su carrera con Cleveland, los Cerveceros y los Yankees. Sabathia, quien llevar¨¢ la gorra de los Yankees en su placa del Sal¨®n, record¨® c¨®mo r¨¢pidamente se sinti¨® en casa en el Bronx despu¨¦s de llegar a los Yankees en el 2009, lider¨¢ndolos a su 27mo campeonato de Serie Mundial.
"Dos o tres d¨ªas despu¨¦s de los campamentos, Andy [Pettitte] y yo est¨¢bamos corriendo en los jardines. Tuve la oportunidad de conocer a [Derek] Jeter, salir juntos, cenar con el cuerpo de lanzadores, ir a partidos de baloncesto¡ no tom¨® mucho tiempo para sentir que hab¨ªa tomado la decisi¨®n correcta", record¨® Sabathia. "Estoy muy emocionado de haber jugado 11 a?os en el Bronx con ese uniforme, y estoy emocionado de que esa gorra est¨¦ en mi placa, sin duda".
Sabathia tambi¨¦n reflexion¨® sobre sus a?os compitiendo contra Ichiro cuando estaba en Cleveland y el japon¨¦s en los Marineros, antes de convertirse en compa?eros en Nueva York.
En el 2006, Sabathia aprendi¨® de Carl Willis, coach de pitcheo de los Guardianes, c¨®mo lanzar su slider, que se convirti¨® en su pitcheo caracter¨ªstico. Su primera apertura con esta nueva arma en su repertorio fue en Seattle.
"Pens¨¦: ¡®Esto es incre¨ªble. Voy a usarlo directamente en el juego.¡¯ Fuimos a Seattle para mi siguiente apertura, lo us¨¦, llegu¨¦ a dos strikes contra Ichi¡ y la mand¨® contra la ventana", dijo Sabathia entre risas.
En su siguiente turno al bate, Sabathia volvi¨® a intentar el slider.
"Se lo tir¨¦ de nuevo, en el primer pitcheo¡ y la volvi¨® a sacar", agreg¨®. "?l fue uno de los mejores jugadores de nuestra generaci¨®n. Siempre disfrut¨¦ competir contra ¨¦l".
El respeto entre ambos fue mutuo, tanto como rivales como compa?eros de equipo.
Coming into the league in 2001 with Ichiro, playing our final season in 2019, entering the HOF in 2025¡crazy¡still owe me that ROY though ? https://t.co/rQVSgl8zt8
"Claro, era un oponente al fin, as¨ª que era un enemigo, pero era alguien que realmente disfrutaba ver y enfrentar, porque era un profesional total", coment¨® Ichiro sobre Sabathia en su etapa con los Guardianes.
Y cuando compartieron equipo en los Yankees, Ichiro dijo que Sabathia "era alguien para quien quer¨ªamos ganar. Quer¨ªamos asegurarnos de que CC obtuviera una victoria. Era ese tipo de jugador que nos hac¨ªa realmente querer ganar para ¨¦l".
Wagner fue uno de los relevistas m¨¢s dominantes de todos los tiempos, terminando su carrera con 422 salvamentos, una efectividad de 2.31, y el mayor K/9 (11.9) y porcentaje de ponches (33.2%) entre lanzadores con tantas entradas lanzadas como ¨¦l. Pero le tom¨® 10 a?os en la boleta ser elegido al Sal¨®n de la Fama.
El zurdo de brazo potente reflexion¨® sobre su emotivo camino hacia el Sal¨®n.
"Es especial¡ estar en este escenario con grandes figuras", dijo un Wagner emocionado. "Es algo que te hace ser humilde. No s¨¦ si lo merezco. Pero estar ah¨ª 10 a?os y tener tu carrera tan analizada, es duro. El d¨¦cimo a?o fue, como era de esperarse, el m¨¢s dif¨ªcil. Pero ahora que estoy aqu¨ª, vali¨® la pena".
"Nunca ha sido f¨¢cil para m¨ª hacer nada. As¨ª que llegar aqu¨ª en 10 intentos es una bendici¨®n. Es muy emotivo. Espero que la gente mire atr¨¢s y vea la resistencia que se necesit¨® para lidiar con todo esto. Espero que los ni?os vean que hay una oportunidad, que se puede llegar aqu¨ª, y que el tama?o o de d¨®nde eres no importa. Creo que Pedro [Mart¨ªnez] lo dijo primero: ¡®Si yo puedo llegar aqu¨ª, cualquiera puede.¡¯ Y estoy muy agradecido. Esos 10 a?os te hacen reflexionar sobre muchas de las batallas que tuviste que librar para llegar aqu¨ª".
Wagner y Sabathia realizaron un recorrido por el museo del Sal¨®n de la Fama el jueves por la ma?ana. Eso hizo que Wagner reflexionara sobre su lugar en la historia del b¨¦isbol.
"Est¨¢s mirando los nombres en las [placas] mientras pasas, y simplemente te das cuenta de lo grande que es este juego, y si realmente perteneces aqu¨ª", se?al¨® Wagner. "Es fascinante ser parte de la historia de esto, y te hace sentir muy peque?o cuando te das cuenta de que est¨¢s ah¨ª con los Mickey Mantles, Joe DiMaggios y Sandy Koufaxes. Realmente te hace sentir humilde".
