ccording to some historians, baseball bloomed into being as the national pastime in Northeastern and Midwestern U.S. in the 1850s, just before the Civil War. The war itself contributed to the spread of the game, and ultimately its popularity in the reunified country: As soldiers from the North and South slaughtered each other on the battlefield, they also played baseball in the waiting times in between. The sport proved to be a common denominator regardless of race, class, and geographic location in the aftermath of the war in terms of its popularity. But racism and segregation were institutionalized in every corner of the country, and America’s pastime was no different. Here in Philadelphia, one of the city’s most recognized civil rights leaders, Octavius V. Catto, is known for leading the charge in desegregating the trolley system. But he also strove to break down barriers in baseball by leading an all-African-American baseball club, the Pythians. They were barred from competing with all-
ENGLISH ESPAÑOL white, amateur baseball teams, but ultimately faced off against some white teams in the area. After Catto was assassinated on Election Day of 1871, the Pythians disbanded. Catto and the Pythians are one example of how baseball, like many of our sports, has been a language shared by Americans throughout the country’s modern history—at times a language which described and reflected the deep hatred and injustices present in our society. But at other times it has been a language of redemption. A language to put a name to the hopes and visions, the desire that America could be America, one day, though for so many, “America never was America,” to paraphrase the poet Langston Hughes. Throughout the 20th and 21st century, baseball has continued to play a seminal role in American public and civic life. It has grown into a worldwide phenomenon, taking root in Japan, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, and other countries throughout the world. What is so unique about baseball compared to other sports? One, it exists outside of time. There is no clock in baseball—only a number of outs that must be completed. As the writer Roger Angell describes it: “Baseball's clock ticks inwardly and silently, and a man absorbed in a ball game is caught in a slow, green place of removal and concentration and in a tension that is screwed up slowly and ever more tightly with each pitcher's windup and with the almost imperceptible forward lean and little halfstep with which the fielders accompany each pitch.
S
egún algunos historiadores, el béisbol floreció como el pasatiempo nacional en el noreste y el medio oeste de Estados Unidos en la década de 1850, justo antes de la Guerra Civil. El conflicto contribuyó a la propagación del juego y, en última instancia, a su popularidad en la patria reunificada: Mientras los soldados del Norte y del Sur se masacraban unos a otros en el campo de batalla, también jugaban al béisbol en los tiempos de espera intermedios. El deporte demostró ser un denominador común, independientemente de la raza, la clase y la ubicación geográfica, después de la guerra, en términos de su popularidad. Pero el racismo y la segregación se institucionalizaron en cada rincón del país, y en el pasatiempo de Estados Unidos la situación no era diferente. Aquí en Filadelfia, uno de los líderes de los derechos civiles más reconocidos de la ciudad, Octavio V. Catto, es conocido por liderar la carga contra la segregación del sistema de trolebuses. Pero también se esforzó por derribar barreras en el béisbol dirigiendo un club de béisbol afroestadounidense, los Pythians. Aunque se les prohibió competir con equipos de béisbol de aficionados totalmente blancos, al final se enfrentaron a algunos equipos blancos de la zona. Después de que Catto fuera asesinado el día de las elecciones de 1871, los Pythians se disolvieron. Catto y su equipo son un ejemplo de cómo el béisbol, como muchos de nuestros deportes, ha sido un lenguaje compartido por los estadounidenses a lo largo de la historia moderna del país, a veces un len-
guaje que describía y reflejaba el profundo odio y las injusticias presentes en nuestra sociedad. Pero en otras ocasiones también ha sido un lenguaje de redención. Un lenguaje para poner nombre a las esperanzas y visiones, el deseo de que América pueda ser América un día, aunque para muchos "América nunca fue América", parafraseando al poeta Langston Hughes. A lo largo de los siglos XX y XXI, el béisbol ha seguido desempeñando un papel fundamental en la vida pública y cívica estadounidense. Se ha convertido en un fenómeno mundial, arraigándose en Japón, Cuba, República Dominicana, Puerto Rico, Venezuela y otros países del mundo. ¿Qué tiene de especial el béisbol en comparación con otros deportes? Uno, existe fuera del tiempo. No hay un reloj en el béisbol sólo un número de salidas que deben ser completadas. Como lo describe el escritor Roger Angell: "El reloj del béisbol se mueve hacia adentro y en silencio, y un hombre absorto en un juego de pelota se ve atrapado en un lugar verde y lento de remoción y concentración y en una tensión que se arruina lentamente y cada vez más fuerte con el movimiento de cada lanzador y con la inclinación hacia adelante, casi imperceptible, y con el pequeño paso a medias con el que los jardineros acompañan a cada campo de juego. Cualquiera que sea el ritmo del partido de béisbol que estamos viendo, cualquiera que sea su resultado, nos mantiene en su propio continuo y misericordiosamente nos libera del nuestro”. Aunque este mismo factor puede ser parte de la razón por la que el béisbol ha disminuido

hen Councilmember Allan Domb decided to run for office four years ago, he had three goals measured by the 100,000: create 100,000 new jobs, bring 100,000 new people to the city and take 100,000 people out of poverty. Domb, like most Philadelphians struggled to understand Philadelphia’s status of the “poorest big city in America.” He compares his early approach at finding a solution to a beloved American game. “You know in football, you can go up the middle or an endaround?” said Domb, citing two popular offensive plays in American football. “I tried to go up the middle and there was no passageway. I had no blockers.” But four years in, in May of 2019, Domb tasked his staff to do some research on the city’s tax history. What they found he could only characterize as “an embarrassment.”

“AN EMBARRASSMENT”
In addition to a history of taxing its low-income residents more than most cities in the country, Philly also has the highest wage tax. “The wage tax is probably the worst for lower income people because it is a flat rate,” said Domb. At approximately 3.8%, it leads the nation and the city relies on it for 44% of its total revenue (by far the most of any

A Domb, como a muchos filadelfianos se le dificultaba comprender el título que tenía Filadelfia como la “ciudad más pobre de los Estados Unidos”. A lo que continúa, comparando su primer enfoque para encontrar una solución con el juego más amado por los estadounidenses. “¿Sabes que, en el fútbol americano, puedes ir hasta el centro del campo o correr hasta el otro extremo de la línea y recibir el balón del mariscal de campo?” dijo Domb, refiriéndose a dos jugadas ofensivas en el fútbol americano. “Intenté ir al centro, pero no había corredor; no había bloqueadores”. Pasados 4 años, en mayo de 2019, Domb le encargó a su equipo la tarea de investigar la historia fiscal de la ciudad. Solo pudo describir lo que halló como “una vergüenza”.
“UNA VERGÜENZA”
Además de tener un historial de cobrar impuestos a los residentes de bajos ingresos más que otras ciudades en el país, Fili también tiene el impuesto al salario más alto de todos.

income source for the city). Numbers-wise, Mayor Jim Kenney’s 2020 budget projects approximately $4.9 billion in revenue, with $2.2 billion expected to come from the wage tax. With that in mind, Domb introduced a wage tax relief bill in September that would greatly increase the amount of wage tax low-income Philadelphians could recoup every year through its Income-based Wage Tax Refund program. After a favorable ruling in City Council’s Finance Committee on Nov. 13, the bill passed in front of the whole council on Dec. 5. City residents must provide documentation of their eligibility for PA’s tax forgiveness pro-
gram before being eligible for the refund. Right now, only 0.5% of city residents’ wage taxes can be refunded with the program.
A BIGGER REFUND
Under the new bill, which passed favorably out of City Council’s Finance Committee, that percentage would rise to 2.3% next year and potentially refund all of the 3.8% by 2024. According to a chart produced by Domb’s office, the refunds would range from approximately $360 to $1,700 depending on the amount of dependents. He thinks it could also help up to 60,000 households, or 100,000 people. In terms of support, Councilmembers María Quiñones-Sánchez and Jannie Blackwell also backed the legislation. Now, the Mayor — who was initially against the bill — will consider signing it into law. If he does, the bill will go into effect next year. z
“El impuesto al salario es posiblemente lo peor para las personas con bajos ingresos porque es una tasa fija”, dijo Domb. El impuesto, que está aproximadamente en 3.8%, está conduciendo a la nación y a la ciudad a depender de él para obtener el 44% de sus ganancias; lo que conforma, por amplio margen, más que cualquier otra fuente de ganancias para la ciudad. Si pasamos a las cifras, el presupuesto para 2020 de Jim Kenney proyecta aproximadamente $4.900 millones de dólares en ingresos, de los cuales se espera que $2.200 millones salgan del impuesto al salario. Con esto en mente, Domb presentó un proyecto de ley de reducción de impuesto al salario en septiembre que aumentaría en gran medida la cantidad de

Después de una sentencia a favor del Comité de Finanzas del Concejo de la Ciudad, el 13 de noviembre, el proyecto de ley fue aprobado frente al Concejo en pleno el 5 de diciembre. Los residentes de la ciudad deben presentar la documentación que respalde su elegibilidad para el Programa de Condonación del Impuesto de Filadelfia antes de ser elegible para el reembolso. En este momento, solo el 0.5% de los impuestos al salario de los residentes de la ciudad pueden ser reembolsados con el programa.
UN REEMBOLSO MAYOR
Según el proyecto de ley, que pasó favorablemente por el Comité de Finanzas del Concejo de la Ciudad, ese porcentaje podría aumentar hasta un 2.3% el próximo año y potencialmente reembolsar el 3.8% para el 2024. De acuerdo con un gráfico realizado por la oficina de Domb, los reembolsos oscilarían entre $360 y $1.700 dólares aproximadamente dependiendo de la cantidad de personas a cargo. Cree también que esto podría ayudar hasta a 60.000 hogares, o 100.000 personas. En términos de respaldo, los concejales María Quiñones-Sánchez y Jannie Blackwell también apoyaron la legislación. Ahora, el alcalde, que en un inicio estuvo en contra del proyecto de ley, considerará aprobarlo; y, de ser así, la ley entrará en vigencia a partir del próximo año. z •5

It is that unique time of the year for love and peace and family togetherness. Except that this year things are much more complicated. After all, some 10,000 children, the majority of them asylum seekers, reman in ICE custody separated from their families. No family togetherness for them this holiday season.

Horrors seem to never cease under this administration’s racism and abuses: as Buzzfeed reports, one eight-year-old boy’s forehead was partially removed. "The allegations appear in a DHS memo, obtained by BuzzFeed News, containing reports of detainees being given incorrect meds, suffering from delays in treating withdrawal symptoms, and one who was allowed to become so mentally unstable he lacerated his own penis and required surgery," reporter Hamed Aleaziz, who broke the story, wrote on Twitter. "These aren't isolated events," said immigration legal services nonprofit RAICES. "This is systematic and it's happening across the country. We must #FreeThemAll," said RAICES, "and #EndDetention before it's too late."

T
he impeachment of U.S. President Donald Trump is not only a unique event in history but also one that is difficult to understand. Since a Justice Department whistleblower's complaint of Trump's alleged abuse of power by withholding money approved by Congress to support Ukraine in exchange for compromising information about former Vice President Joe Biden became public, the past three months have been key to the country's future. What have we learned so far?
1. SEPARATION OF POWERS IN THE COUNTRY AT RISK
The Democrats' decision in the House of Representatives to conduct an investigation into the president's abuse of power was triggered by a dangerous issue: Attorney General William P. Barr's refusal to evaluate the informant's complaint. It is not necessary to have read Montesquieu to understand that the democratic balance of countries like the United States depends on the separation of the legislative, executive and judicial branches. If a president feels he can, say, shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and not be prosecuted for it, it is the duty of the judicial and legislative branches to make him understand that no one is above the law. While the House of Representatives, the legislative branch, insists on maintaining the system of checks and balances, the tribalism to which the Attorney General seems attached in protecting the president at all costs sets a precedent in which any

l proceso de destitución del presidente estadounidense Donald Trump no sólo es un evento único en la historia, sino también uno difícil de comprender. Desde que se hiciera pública la denuncia de un informante en el Departamento de Justicia sobre el presunto abuso de poder por parte de Trump al retener dinero aprobado por el Congreso para apoyar a Ucrania a cambio de información comprometedora sobre el ex vicepresidente Joe Biden, los últimos tres meses han sido claves para el futuro del país. ¿Qué hemos aprendido hasta ahora?
1. LA SEPARACIÓN DE PODERES EN EL PAÍS ESTÁ EN RIESGO
La decisión de los Demócratas en la Cámara de Representantes de llevar a cabo la investigación sobre el abuso de poder del presidente fue detonada por un asunto peligroso: la negativa del Fiscal General William P. Barr de evaluar la denuncia del informante. No hace falta haber leído a Montesquieu para entender que el balance democrático de países como Estados Unidos depende de la separación de las ramas legislativa, ejecutiva y judicial. Si un presidente siente que puede, digamos, disparar a alguien en la Quinta Avenida y no ser enjuiciado por ello, es deber de las ramas judiciales y legislativas de hacerle entender que nadie está por encima de la ley. Mientras la Cámara de Representantes, es decir, la rama legislativa, insiste en mantener el sistema

other president can rule in a tyrannical manner. A proof of this was Barr's decision to "completely exonerate" the president once the Mueller investigation was made public, or his refusal to investigate whether the president actually abused his power.
2. TRUMP BETRAYED HIS OATH AND THE COUNTRY'S TRUST
The three months of investigations, hearings, and review of evidence by House Committees determined that "President Trump, personally and acting through agents within and outside of the U.S. government, solicited the interference of a foreign government, Ukraine, to benefit his reelection," according to the House's final report. The president also allegedly obstructed the committees' investigation by prohibiting members of his government from testifying and collaborating with the documentation necessary to establish the evidence.
3. DESPITE THE GOVERNMENT'S STRATEGIES, THERE ARE THOSE WHO CONTINUE TO PUT THE CONSTITUTION FIRST
Since Nov. 13, a handful of government officials decided to put the country first and went before House Committees and the world to testify on what they knew about the issue. George Kent, Bill Taylor, Marie Yovanovitch, Fiona Hill and even European Union Ambassador Gordon Sondland confirmed aloud the informant's denunciation: the president had abused his power.
4. THE DEMOCRATIC STRATEGY MIGHT NOT BE ENOUGH
Last Wednesday, the House Judiciary Committee made public the consideration of two articles of impeachment against President Trump: one for abuse of power and the other for obstruction of Congress. Although the party leadership expects only a few legislators to vote against impeachment, getting the support of a single Republican is virtually impossible. From the beginning, Republican legislators have attacked the procedure by calling it a "political coup," "illegal process," and "witchhunt," demanding public hearings and the president's right to defend himself, all that the Democratic majority has agreed to. The Republican Party has gone to the extreme of endorsing widely dismantled conspiracy theories about Russian interference in the 2016 elections, desperately trying to find some legality in Trump's actions.

The picture, meanwhile, is of a political game at the expense of the erosion of democracy.
5. AN UNKNOWN TERRAIN
While Richard Nixon resigned and Bill Clinton was acquitted in the Senate, the future of Donald Trump's impeachment is uncertain. On Wednesday, for the third time in the country's modern history, the House Judiciary Committee panel discussed with evidence in hand the removal of a president. According to the New York Times, while the Democrats had the Constitution and the results of their investigation, the Republicans were reduced to tribalism and to attacking their opponents for "their negative to accept the legitimacy" of the president. "This is as much about political expediency as anything else," said the top Republican on the panel, Representative Doug Collins of Georgia. After Thursday's vote, which will likely have a Democratic majority in the House, the way forward is unknown. Republicans in the Senate, who hold the majority, outlined a strategy for a "brief impeachment trial" earlier this year, the Washington Post explained. Several Republican senators said that "it would be better to limit the trial and quickly vote to acquit Trump, rather than engage in what could become a political circus.” Perhaps it's too late for that, since the colorful tent has been set up in the White House garden for at least three years. z
de controles y equilibrio, el tribalismo al que parece apegado el Fiscal General al proteger al presidente a toda costa, marca un precedente sobre el cual cualquier otro mandatario puede gobernar de manera tiránica. Para muestra de ello, la decisión de Barr de “exonerar completamente” al presidente una vez se hizo pública la investigación Mueller, o su negativa a investigar si el presidente de hecho abusó de su poder.
2. TRUMP TRAICIONÓ SU JURAMENTO Y LA CONFIANZA DEL PAÍS Los tres meses de investigaciones, audiencias y revisión de evidencia por parte de los Comités de la Cámara determinaron que “el presidente Trump, personalmente y actuando a través de agentes dentro y fuera del gobierno de Estados Unidos, solicitó la interferencia de un gobierno extranjero, Ucrania, para beneficiar su reelección”, según explica el informe final de la Cámara. Asimismo, el presidente habría obstruido la investigación de los Comités al prohibir a miembros de su gobierno a declarar y colaborar con documentación necesaria para establecer la evidencia.
3. A PESAR DE LAS ESTRATEGIAS DEL GOBIERNO, HAY QUIENES SIGUEN PONIENDO LA CONSTITUCIÓN POR DELANTE
Desde el 13 de noviembre, un puñado de funcionarios del gobierno decidieron poner al país primero y acudieron ante los Comités de la Cámara de Representantes, y ante el mundo, para testificar sobre lo que sabían en el asunto. George Kent, Bill Taylor, Marie Yovanovitch, Fiona Hill y hasta el embajador ante la Unión Europea Gordon Sondland confirmaron en voz alta la denuncia del informante: el presidente había abusado de su poder.
4. LA ESTRATEGIA DEMÓCRATA PODRÍA NO SER SUFICIENTE
El pasado miércoles el Comité Judiciario de la Cámara hizo pública la consideración de dos artículos de juicio político contra el presidente Trump: uno por abuso de poder y otro por obstrucción del Congreso. A pesar de que el liderazgo del partido espera que tan sólo unos pocos legisladores no den su voto, conseguir el apoyo de algún Republicano es virtualmente imposible.
Desde un principio, el grueso Republicano ha atacado el procedimiento calificándole de “golpe político”, “proceso ilegal” y “cacería de brujas”, exigiendo audiencias públicas y el derecho al presidente de defenderse, todo a lo que la mayoría demócrata ha accedido. El partido Republicano ha ido al extremo de avalar teorías conspirativas ampliamente desmontadas sobre la injerencia rusa en los comicios del 2016, intentando desesperadamente hallarle algo de legalidad a las acciones de Trump. El panorama, mientras tanto, es de un juego político trancado a expensas de la erosión de la democracia.
5. UN TERRENO DESCONOCIDO
Mientras Richard Nixon renunció y Bill Clinton fue absuelto en el Senado, el futuro del impeachment de Donald Trump es incierto. El día miércoles, y por tercera vez en la historia moderna del país, el panel del Comité Judicial de la Cámara de Representantes discutía con evidencia en mano la destitución de un presidente. Según recuenta el New York Times, mientras los demócratas contaban con la Constitución y los resultados de su investigación, los republicanos se redujeron al caciquismo y a atacar a sus oponentes por “su negativa a aceptar la legitimidad” del presidente. “Esto tiene que ver tanto con la conveniencia política como con cualquier cosa”, dijo el principal republicano en el panel, el representante Doug Collins de Georgia. Después del voto del día jueves, que seguramente contará con la mayoría demócrata en la Cámara, el camino a seguir es desconocido. Los Republicanos en el Senado, que manejan la mayoría, esbozan una estrategia para llevar a cabo un “breve juicio de destitución” a principios de año, según explicó el Washington Post. Varios senadores republicanos aseguraron que “sería mejor limitar el juicio y votar rápidamente para absolver a Trump, en lugar de participar en lo que podría convertirse en un circo político”. Quizás sea ya demasiado tarde para eso, pues la carpa de colores está montada en el jardín de la Casa Blanca desde hace, al menos, tres años. z

With an estimated population of 60 million and purchasing power of $1.7 trillion, the Latinx community has the numbers to hold substantial economic influence. However, the representation is lacking in many circles in businesses and start-ups, in particular. During the final panel of the Techstars Startup Week Philadelphia 2019, Latinx business owners discussed how the Latinx community can break into spaces in which they aren’t well represented. One of the ways to do that, they said, is through entrepreneurship. If there is one takeaway that can be grasped from the panel discussion, it’s that the path to entrepreneurship is far from linear. For Candy Calderón, a wellness entrepreneur and certified holistic health & wellness coach, the decision to leave her job at an engine software development company came from her passion for health, wellness and helping her community. However, she also knew it would be problematic to simply jump right into entrepreneurship without a plan in place. “What I did was, I gave myself two years to make the transition to build my business to a point where I was at least making the same amount of money that I was making as an employee,” said Calderón.

a comunidad latina conforma el grupo racial y étnico más joven y más grande de los Estados Unidos. Con una población estimada de 60 millones de habitantes y con un poder de adquisición de $1.7 billones de dólares, la comunidad latina tiene los números a su favor para tener una influencia económica sustancial. No obstante, la representación de esta comunidad está ausente de muchos círculos, en especial en empresas y emprendimientos. Durante el panel final de Techstars Startup Week Philadelphia 2019, los empresarios latinos discutieron cómo puede esta comunidad entrar en espacios en donde no están representados, y dijeron que una de las maneras de lograrlo es mediante el emprendimiento. Una conclusión importante que se puede extraer del panel de discusión es que el camino hacia el emprendimiento está lejos de ser lineal. Para Candy Calderón, una emprendedora de la industria del bienestar y entrenadora certificada en salud y bienestar, la decisión de renunciar a su trabajo en una compañía desarrolladora de software para motores le llegó de su pasión por el área de la salud y el bienestar y de querer ayudar a su comunidad. Sin embargo, también sabía que podría ser problemático lanzarse a emprender sin tener un plan establecido. “Lo que hice fue darme dos años de transición para ser empresaria y esperar al punto de ganar por lo menos lo mismo que ganaba como empleada”, dijo Calderón.

“It’s been eight years since the moment I transitioned [to entrepreneurship] and I never looked back,” she added. Carolina Castro, communications & brand strategist and Lean In Leader, started her entrepreneurial journey roughly a year ago. With a background in the nonprofit sector, the path to entrepreneurship wasn’t planned. However, the experience of participating in a Techstars Startup Weekend provided the fuel for her to enter into that world of entrepreneurship. "It was a super life-changing weekend," she said. "I had a rush of ideas and a new way of thinking, and since that weekend, I've sort of been on the entrepreneurial journey." Jonathan Diaz, a business strategist, uses his entrepreneurship to attempt to close gaps, and help others through capacity building and capital sharing. “Sometimes, I see myself as an entrepreneur for entrepreneurs,” he said. “For me, it’s about closing the gap and creating a seat at the table and building bridges amongst communities that I’ve been able to access and have had the privilege to navigate,” he added. With the amount of purchasing power and influence that exists for Latinos, one of the best ways for businesses to tap into that is by having more representation in various industries, and increasing access to important resources. “There is no American prosperity or economic prosperity without empowering black and brown entrepreneurs, and allowing them to scale their businesses,” said Diaz. As a piece of advice, the panelists agreed that being unafraid to fail, a high level of resilience and being intentional with each action are key to succeeding in the entrepreneurial world. z
“Han pasado ocho años desde el momento en que pasé a ser emprendedora y nunca volví a mirar atrás”, agregó. Carolina Castro, estratega de marca y comunicaciones, y Lean In Leader, inició su viaje hacia el emprendimiento hace casi un año. Con experiencia en el sector sin fines de lucro, su camino al emprendimiento no fue planeado, y de hecho fue la experiencia de haber participado en Techstars Startup Weekend lo que le dio el impulso de entrar en ese mundo. "Fue un fin de semana que transformó mi vida", dijo. "Me vinieron un torrente de ideas y una nueva manera de pensar, y desde ese fin de semana, he estado en la senda del emprendimiento". Jonathan Díaz, un estratega de negocios, utiliza su emprendimiento para intentar cerrar brechas y ayudar a otros a desarrollar la capacidad y la participación accionaria. “Algunas veces, me veo a mí mismo como un emprendedor para emprendedores”, dijo. “Para mí, el punto está en crear un acercamiento, sentarnos a la mesa y construir puentes entre las comunidades a las que he tenido acceso y las que he tenido el privilegio de explorar”, agregó. Una de las mejores maneras en que los negocios pueden aprovechar ese nivel de poder de compra y de influencia que existe para los latinos es teniendo más representación en varias industrias e incrementar el acceso a recursos importantes. “No hay prosperidad estadounidense o prosperidad económica si no se empodera a los emprendedores negros y de piel morena, ni si no se les permite que sus negocios escalen”, dijo Díaz. El concejo unívoco de todos los panelistas fue el de no tener miedo al fracaso, tener un gran nivel de resiliencia y tener una intención concreta para cada acción a seguir, como la clave del éxito en el mundo del emprendimiento. z

ENGLISH
t’s a warm Wednesday night towards the end of October when Falio Leyba-Martinez pulls up to the baseball field at the corner of Dudley and Pleasant streets in East Camden. “Let’s go, we’re late!” he shouts to four uniformed kids playing on the dirt ball field. In an instant, they stop what they’re doing, gather their equipment bags and quickly make their way to the rented Sprinter van Martinez arrived in. He exits the van and greets his players and assistant coach, Manny, who gives him the rundown on who’s in and who’s out for tonight’s game against Burlington County. This is how every away game begins for the Camden City Yankees, a 10-and-under Babe Ruth fall ball team repping East Camden.
ESPAÑOL
“
¡Apúrense, vamos tarde! ”, grita a cuatro jóvenes uniformados que juegan sobre el campo de terracería. En cuestión de segundos, dejan de hacer lo que están haciendo, reúnen sus bolsas con equipo y se dirigen rápidamente hacia la van marca Sprinter en la que llegó Martínez. Martínez sale de la van y saluda a sus jugadores y al entrenador auxiliar, Manny, quien le informa quienes jugarán y quienes no en el juego de esa noche contra el condado de Burlington. Así es como inicia cada juego para los Camden City Yankees, un equipo de béisbol de otoño de Babe Ruth para niños de 10 años y menores que representa a East Camden. Luego de reunir al equipo en la van, inician su trayecto de 30 minutos al norte, hacia Burlington.
The team is also predominantly Latino, with a few African-American players in the mix. El equipo también es predominantemente Latino, con unos pocos jugadores afroamericanos.

COVER After gathering the troops in the van, we take off on our 30-minute trek north to Burlington. “Sorry we’re a little light on the ride up today,” Martinez tells me, still sporting the pink dress shirt, tie and grey slacks he wore to work that day. I had interviewed him two weeks prior, highlighting his run for a spot on Camden’s Board of Education (a race he ended up winning). “Running a campaign, plus my regular work, it’s crazy right now,” he says. But now, heading with his team to their final away game of the fall ball season, Martinez wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. “Now I get to go scream my head off for two hours,” he says. I was, after all, riding with the self-proclaimed “hardest baseball coach in Camden City.”
A MUCH-NEEDED OUTLET
Martinez’s inspiration for the Yankees in East Camden was the work of one of his friends, Bryan Morton, in North Camden. In arguably the city’s darkest days, Morton started a little league in North Camden in 2011 to give kids in the neighborhood a positive outlet. Morton’s strategy was a major hit and in the first year, brought baseball to 100 kids. Now, eight years after its inaugural season, North Camden Lit-
tle League serves upwards of 600 kids a season. Before he made inroads, youth baseball hadn’t been played in Camden in at least two decades. While Morton’s efforts sparked a boon for youth baseball across the city, Martinez says the Yankees are the first team in 13 years for the predominantly Latino East Camden. The majority Dominican community has embraced the team since its founding. As a fellow Dominican, Martinez said the outpouring wasn’t a surprise. “It’s our game,” he said. The team is also predominantly Latino, with a few African-American players in the mix.
CAMDEN’S UNTAPPED BASEBALL TALENT
Part of Martinez’s mission, beyond giving kids in the neighborhood an outlet, is showcasing
“Siento que seamos tan pocos los que vayamos hoy”, me dice Martínez, quien aún viste su camisa de vestir rosada, corbata y pantalón gris que usó ese día al trabajo. Lo había entrevistados dos semanas antes, destacando su postulación para ocupar un puesto en el Consejo de Educación de Camden (puesto que al final obtuvo). “Realizar una campaña, más mi trabajo habitual, ¡es de locura ahora!”, dice. Ahora, sin embargo, mientras se dirige con su equipo a su último juego fuera de casa para la temporada de béisbol de otoño, Martínez no quisiera estar en ningún otro lugar. “Ahora podré gritar a todo pulmón durante dos horas”, dice. Al final de cuentas, me encontraba viajando con el autoproclamado “entrenador de béisbol más exigente en Camden City”.
UN ESCAPE MUY NECESARIO
La inspiración para los Yankees en East Camden de Martínez fue el trabajo realizado por uno de sus amigos, Bryan Morton, en North Camden. En lo que probablemente hayan sido los días más oscuros de la ciudad, en el 2011 Morton creó un equipo de pequeñas ligas en North Camden para ofrecerles a los niños del vecindario un escape positivo. La estrategia de Morton fue un gran éxito en el primer año y acercó a 100 jóvenes al béisbol. Ahora, ocho años después de su temporada inaugural, la North Camden Little League cuenta con más de 600 niños por temporada. Antes de los avances de Morton, el béisbol de jóvenes no se había jugado en Camden por lo menos en dos décadas. Aunque los esfuerzos de Morton fueron el impulso para el béisbol de jóvenes en toda la ciudad, Martínez dice que los Yankees son el primer equipo en 13 años para el área predominantemente Latino de East Camden. La comunidad dominicana mayoritaria acoge al equipo desde que se estableció. Como dominicano, Martínez dijo que la efusión no fue sorprendente. “Es nuestro juego”, dijo. El equipo también es, predominantemente, Latino, con unos cuantos jugadores afroamericanos.

“These kids want to win every day, and even if we lose, they win because it’s all a learning experience.” Falio Leyba-Martinez, head coach

the baseball talent present in Camden. Before its recent resurgence, he said baseball often took a backseat in the city to football and basketball, which have both spawned their fair share of superstar talent over the years. Martinez himself is a product of that oft-forgotten talent pool. Before settling down to a job in sales, he chased the dream of becoming a professional baseball player. It took him across the U.S. and to the Dominican Republic, where he played semi-professionally. When he thinks of Camden’s youth as a whole, he’s full of praise. “We have the best kids in the nation,” said Martinez.
A ROLE MODEL FOR THE BEST KIDS
That designation extends beyond just talent on the field. In
his role as coach, Martinez is also a role model for his young players, who often come from difficult backgrounds. “A lot of the kids that play for me are being raised by a single mother or they really don’t get to see their dads, or their dads really don’t get to see them play,” he said. Despite major improvements in the areas of violence and drugs in Camden over the last decade, some of Martinez’s players still deal with those challenges on a daily basis. These situations aren’t easy, but they instill in his players an unmatched toughness and will to win that inform his “hard” approach to coaching them.
THE HARDEST COACH IN CAMDEN
“There’s not somebody that makes them run harder. There’s not somebody who makes them work harder. There’s not some-
EL TALENTO SIN EXPLOTAR DE CAMDEN
Además de ofrecerles a los jóvenes en el vecindario un escape, parte de la misión de Martínez es mostrar el talento de béisbol que existe en Camden. Antes de su resurgimiento reciente, Martínez dijo que el béisbol con frecuencia ocupaba un lugar secundario, después del fútbol americano y el baloncesto que en el transcurso de los años han producido una buena ración de superestrellas. Martinez es, de hecho, un producto de ese grupo de talento con frecuencia olvidada. Antes de desempeñarse como vendedor, Martinez fue tras su sueño de convertirse en jugador profesional de béisbol, que lo llevó por todos los EE. UU. y a República Dominicana, donde jugó semi profesionalmente. Cuando piensa sobre los jóvenes de Camden, en su totalidad, se llena de elogios. “Contamos con los mejores jóvenes en la nación”, dijo Martinez.
UN MODELO EJEMPLAR PARA LOS MEJORES JÓVENES
Esa denominación se extiende más allá del talento en el equipo. En su papel como entrenador, Martinez también es un modelo ejemplar para sus jugadores jóvenes, quienes con frecuencia provienen de contextos familiares difíciles. “Muchos de los jóvenes que juegan para mí están siendo criados por madres solteras o realmente no tienen oportunidad de ver a sus padres, o sus padres no tienen la oportunidad de verlos jugar”, dijo. A pesar de las importantes mejoras en las áreas de violencia y drogas que han habido en Camden durante la última década, algunos de los jugadores de Martinez aún lidian con esos desafíos diariamente. Estas situaciones no son fáciles, pero infunden una tenacidad y voluntad para ganar sin par en sus jugadores que orientan su enfoque “exigente” al entrenarlos.
EL ENTRENADOR MÁS EXIGENTE EN CAMDEN
No hay nadie que los haga correr con más fuerza. No hay nadie que los hace trabajar más duro. No hay nadie que los haga hacer cosas más difíciles de las que yo los hago hacer”, dijo Martínez. “Pero ¿saben qué? Se presentan a cada entreno. Se presentan para cada juego… estos jóvenes quieren ganar cada día, y aunque perdamos, ellos ganan porque todo es una experiencia de aprendizaje”, dijo el entrenador. Al preguntarle a cualquiera de los jugadores del equipo Yankee sobre su entrenador, hay unos cuantos que se quejan sobre cuán exigente es, como lo haría cualquier niño de 10 años de edad -- no obstante, todos aceptan que no jugarían en ningún otro lugar.

body who makes them do other things harder than what I make them do,” said Martinez. “But guess what? They show up to every practice. They show up to every game...these kids want to win every day, and even if we lose, they win because it’s all a learning experience,” he said. When you ask any of the Yankee players about their coach, there are a few who gripe about his strictness as any 10-year old would — but all admit they wouldn’t want to play anywhere else. Take Byron for example. The 10 year old is one of the quieter members of the team, but reels in his fair share of game balls with his heater on the mound and big bat at the plate. To him, Martinez’s approach is necessary if the team wants to see success on the field. “He’s strict and good coaches are like that and that’s how we win games,” he said. Before joining the Yankees, Byron played for a team in Cherry Hill, just outside Camden. Now he plays for his neighborhood team. “It’s better over here because I don’t have to go as far,” said Byron. For Ashanti, the Yankees are the first organized baseball team she’s ever played on. Like Byron, she lets her play do the talking — whether flashing the leather while playing in the outfield or speeding around the bases after a hit. When asked about her experience on the team, Ashanti put it simply. “It’s fun,” she said.
A COLD NIGHT IN BURLINGTON
As we arrived to the field in Burlington County, the team started their warm up with two laps around the field.

After that, the players lined up as Martinez hit them a mixture of fly balls and grounders for them to field and then fire to the assistant coach, Manny. The opposing Burlington Falcons went through a round of infield before spending the rest of their warm-up in the batting cage behind the field. In the meantime, the warm October afternoon turned to a chilly autumn night. But that didn’t keep at least 20 parents supporting the away team from making the same trek out Route 130. They mingled amongst themselves as the lights came on on the field and it was time to play ball. Until this game, the Yankees had only lost one game all season. “The kids don’t plan to lose another one,” Martinez had said in a previous interview. After jumping out to a fiverun lead through the first inning and a half, the team looked poised to keep that a reality. But after an error-filled bottom of the second, the Yankees found themselves only up one run. A runless top of the third was followed by another run of

Byron, de 10 años de edad, por ejemplo, es uno de los miembros más callados del equipo pero contribuye a ganar el juego con sus lanzamientos sobre el montículo y su gran bate sobre la base. En su opinión, el enfoque de Martinez es necesario si el equipo quiere ser exitoso en el campo. “Es estricto y los buenos entrenadores son así y así es como ganamos los partidos”, dijo Byron. Antes de jugar con el equipo de los Yankees, Byron jugó para un equipo en Cherry Hill, justo en las afueras de Camden. Ahora juega para el equipo de su vecindario. “Es mejor aquí porque no tengo que viajar tan lejos”, dijo Byron. Para Ashanti, los Yankees son el primer equipo organizado en el que ella ha jugado. Como Byron, Ashanti deja que su desempeño hable por ella --ya sea al mostrar su guante mientras juega en el campo o al correr velozmente por las bases después de un hit. Al preguntarle sobre su experiencia en el equipo, Ashanti dijo, con palabras sencillas: “Es divertido”.

El equipo adversario de los Burlington Falcons, hizo una ronda de práctica dentro del diamante antes de pasar el resto del calentamiento en la jaula de bateo situada detrás del campo.

Sin embargo, eso no detuvo a los por lo menos 20 padres de familia que recorrieron el trayecto de la Ruta 130 para llegar a apoyar al equipo. Circularon entre ellos mientras las luces se encendieron en el campo y llegó el momento de que empezara el juego. DECEMBER 18 - 25, 2019

bad luck in the field in the bottom half of the inning, and the Falcons had sprung out to a four-run lead. It was a lead they never gave up that night. But the season wasn’t over, and it wasn’t the last time the Yankees would see the Falcons from Burlington.
ENDING WITH A BANG
That Saturday, the Falcons made the same trip as the Yankees, but down Route 130 to Camden, and met them on their home turf, in the same park Martinez had met his team three days prior. For the Yankees, it was the second game of a doubleheader on the gray, rainy day. They jumped out to an early, big lead on the Falcons, but as the Yankee bats went quiet, the Falcons started chipping away. By the top of the sixth inning, the once massive lead built by the Yankees shrank to just one run. The Falcons subsequently tied it, leaving it up to the Yankee bats to pull through to victory. After a quick first out, Byron stepped to the plate and stroked a double. He advanced to third on a passed ball.
The next Yankee batter went down swinging. With two outs, Gennori — a player known more for his mound mastery — entered the batter’s box. The second pitch to him was another passed ball, allowing Byron to score and sending the Yankees and their fans into pandemonium. With their second loss avenged, the Yankees ended their season with 15 wins and two losses — the best of any 10u Fall ball team in the area. Next season, Martinez plans to stick with his team as they go up another age division in Babe Ruth. He also wants to expand the team to include more age groups with additional help from parents. The whole of Camden may reflect a red hue for the nearby Phillies, but in East Camden, it’s now navy blue.z
Hasta ese momento, los Yankees solo habían perdido un juego en toda la temporada. “Los jóvenes no tienen planes de perder otro”, había dicho Martinez en una entrevista anterior. Tras arrancar con una ventaja de cinco carreras durante la primera entrada y media, el equipo parecía encontrarse preparado para que eso se hiciera realidad. Sin embargo, luego de un final de la segunda entrada llena de errores, los Yankees se encontraban con solo una carrera de ventaja. Un principio de la tercera entrada sin anotación de carreras fue seguido por una racha de mala suerte en el campo durante el final de la entrada, y los Falcons habían logrado una ventaja de cuatro carreras. Fue una ventaja que no volvieron a dejar pasar en esa noche. Pero la temporada no había terminado, y no era la última vez que los Yankees se encontrarían frente a los Falcons de Burlington.
UN ESTRUENDOSO FINAL
Ese sábado, los Falcons realizaron el mismo viaje que los Yankees, pero sobre la Ruta 130 hacia Camden, y se reunieron con ellos en casa, en el mismo campo en que Martinez se había reunido con su equipo tres días antes. Para los Yankees, era el segundo de dos partidos en un día gris y lluvioso. Arrancaron con una ventaja grande sobre los Falcons, pero los bates de los Yankees se silenciaron y los Falcons empezaron a alcanzarlos. En la parte final de la sexta entrada, la ventaja masiva que habían logrado los Yankees se había reducido a tan solo una carrera. Los Falcons subsecuentemente empataron, y la victoria quedó en manos de los bateadores de los Yankees. Tras el primer out rápido, Byron golpeó la pelota y logró llegar a segunda base. Llegó a tercera base cuando el receptor (catcher) no logró atrapar la bola lanzada. El siguiente bateador de los Yankees no logró golpear la pelota. Con dos outs, Gennori --un jugador más conocido por su maestría sobre el montículo -- se presentó a batear. El segundo lanzamiento fue otra que el receptor no pudo atrapar y le permitió a Byron anotar, creando un estrépito entre los Yankees y sus aficionados. Tras la expiación de su segunda pérdida, los Yankees terminaron su temporada con 15 victorias y dos pérdidas --el mejor resultado de cualquier equipo 10u (de 10 años y menores) de otoño en el área. En la siguiente temporada, Martínez tiene planes de seguir con su equipo mientras suben a otra división por edad en Babe Ruth. También quiere ampliar el equipo para que incluya a más grupos por edad con la ayuda adicional de los padres de familia. En su totalidad, Camden podría reflejar un tono rojo para los Phillies aledaños, pero en East Camden, ahora se viste de azul marino.z

Cabello represents the new generation of Latinos in the United States that have been successful in breaking the stereotypes that have lingered for many years. And speaking about the new generations, Camila’s latest album speaks to what romance really is in this era. As many millennials can attest to, relationships and settling down have become more complicated than it sounds, and we could hear it in these songs. If they could be categorized, the album is divided by two common themes: the romantic and exciting love that we all dream of, and the deception of impossible love. Into the first category fall “Shameless,” “Señorita,” “Living Proof,” “Used to This,” “Dream of You,” “My Oh My,” “Easy,” and “First Man.” These songs talk about the first stages of love, as well as the unconditional security that a person can give you. Although “First Man” is not aimed towards a lover, this song speaks about the person who can be the first love in a woman’s life: her father. The rest of the album examines toxic relationships, heartbreak, and missed opportunities. “Should’ve Said It,” “Liar,” “Bad Kind of Butterflies,” “Feel It Twice,” “Cry For Me,” and “This Love,” are the type of songs that make you want to grab a tissue and eat a tub of ice cream in one sitting. From the lows to the highs, in her new album Cabello sings the complexity of love in the 21st century. z
representa a la nueva generación de latinos en Estados Unidos que han tenido éxito en romper los estereotipos que han permanecido durante muchos años. Y hablando de las nuevas generaciones, el último álbum de Cabello habla de lo que realmente es el romance en esta era. Como muchos millennials pueden dar fe, las relaciones y el compromiso se han vuelto más complicados de lo que parece, y podemos escucharlo en estas canciones. Si pudieran clasificarse, el álbum se divide en dos temas comunes: el amor romántico y emocionante con el que todos soñamos, y el engaño del amor imposible. En la primera categoría se encuentran “Shameless,” “Señorita,” “Living Proof,” “Used to This,” “Dream of You,” “My Oh My,” “Easy,” y “First Man.” Estas canciones hablan sobre las primeras etapas del amor, así como la seguridad incondicional que una persona puede brindar. Aunque "First Man" no está dirigido a un amante precisamente, esta canción habla de la persona que puede ser el primer amor en la vida de una mujer: su padre. El resto del álbum examina relaciones tóxicas, desamor y oportunidades perdidas. “Should’ve Said It,” “Liar,” “Bad Kind of Butterflies,” “Feel It Twice,” “Cry For Me,” and “This Love,” son el tipo de canciones que te dan ganas de agarrar un pañuelo y comer un bote de helado de chocolate. En las buenas y en las malas, Cabello canta lo complejo que es el amor en el siglo XXI en su nuevo álbum. z

TRUDEAU MOCKS TRUMP
CHINESE DIPLOMATS EXPELLED
Days after it seemed like the U.S. and China had finally reached a truce, China was accused of attempting to break into a U.S. military base in September. This prompted Washington to expel two Beijing diplomats from U.S territory. At least one of them is suspected by the American authorities of being a Chinese intelligence agent.

A video of Canada's Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, mocking President Trump went viral. In the recording, Trudeau along with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte appeared to have a laugh about Trump's behavior during NATO. But none of the leaders explicitly named Trump.

Pero ninguno de los líderes nombró explícitamente a Trump.
A solo días de que EE.UU y China finalmente llegaran a una tregua, China es acusada de intentar ingresar a una base militar estadounidense en septiembre. Lo que provocó que Washington expulsara a dos diplomáticos de Beijing de territorio estadounidense. Las autoridades estadounidenses sospechan que al menos uno de ellos es un agente de inteligencia chino.

LATINX COMMUNITY GATHERS FOR LAST GOODBYE
THE BOLIVARIAN ALLIANCE BLAMES U.S. FOR PROTESTS
The alliance headed by Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua denounced the "American falsehood" of holding them responsible for the region’s protests. While the Bolivarian Alliance says the U.S. "shamefully misrepresents the Latin American reality," the XVII Summit of the entity shows it reaching its 15-year anniversary weakened and seeking to join forces after the departures of Ecuador and Bolivia.

FRENTE UP FRONT Whatever the pace of the particular baseball game we are watching, whatever its outcome, it holds us in its own continuum and mercifully releases us from our own.” Though this very factor might be part of the reason why baseball has waned in popularity among younger generations, the removal from time and the rushing pace of our modern age has its own appeal. Baseball is a sport of individual persistence and teamwork together but also distinctly separate challenges apportioned in each play, each at-bat, each one-on-one face-off of pitcher and batter. One writer even recently argued that baseball models our judicial system, and thus provides Americans with a civic education of sorts. And for those of us who love the sport, an important part of the beauty of the game is its unpredictability. As many stats and Moneyball-esque analyses you might have in the front office, as much precision as there is in determining who is the best player for what moment, the joy of the game is that the batter who smokes a rope to the outfield doesn’t always get a hit, while the player on the team with the lowest batting average is sometimes the hero with a swinging bunt. It is a game of chance, existing outside of the regular rules of time and space. Yes, of course, some players can more reliably be depended on to come through in

the clutch. But there are few other sports that can match the way in which in baseball, the vagaries of chance and circumstance set the stage for the underdog to become the hero. There’s a lot more to wax poetic about, and perhaps for the sake of transparency it should be acknowledged that it is the hand of a devout, lifelong baseball fan who is penning (ok, typing) these words. But the appeal for the sport, its place in American culture, and its enshrinement in the hearts of those of us who love the game, all seem a little irrelevant next to the words of Ashanti, one of the Yankees of East Camden featured in our cover story on pg. 12 this week. Why does she play baseball? “It’s fun,” she told AL DÍA. Sounds like the only reason any of us need to get out there and play ball. z THE EDITOR
en popularidad entre las generaciones más jóvenes, la eliminación del tiempo y el ritmo apresurado de nuestra era moderna tiene su propio atractivo. El béisbol es un deporte de persistencia individual y de trabajo en equipo, pero también de desafíos claramente separados repartidos en cada juego, cada bateo, cada cara-a-cara de lanzador y bateador. Un escritor incluso recientemente argumentó que el béisbol es un modelo de nuestro sistema judicial, y por lo tanto proporciona a los estadounidenses una especie de educación cívica. Y para aquellos de nosotros que amamos el deporte, una parte importante de la belleza del juego es su imprevisibilidad. Aún entre estadísticas y análisis al estilo Moneyball en la oficina principal, entre esfuerzos para determinar quién es el mejor jugador en cada momento, la alegría del juego es que el bateador que golpea
hacia el campo no siempre le atina, mientras que el jugador del equipo con el promedio de bateo más bajo es a veces el héroe con un toque de swinging. Es un juego de azar, que existe fuera de las reglas regulares del tiempo y del espacio. Sí, por supuesto, se puede confiar más en que algunos jugadores siempre salvarán el día. Pero hay pocos otros deportes que puedan igualar la forma en que en el béisbol, los caprichos del azar y las circunstancias preparan el escenario para que el desvalido se convierta en el héroe. Hay mucho más que simple embellecimiento poético, y tal vez en aras de la transparencia se debe reconocer que es la mano de una devota fanática del béisbol de toda la vida quien está escribiendo estas palabras. Pero el atractivo de este deporte, su lugar en la cultura estadounidense y su consagración en los corazones de aquellos de nosotros que amamos el juego, todo parece un poco irrelevante junto a las palabras de Ashanti, uno de los Yankees de East Camden que aparece en nuestra historia de portada en la página 12 de esta semana. ¿Por qué juega al béisbol? "Es divertido", le dijo ella a AL DÍA. Suena como la única razón por la que cualquiera de nosotros necesita salir a jugar.z DEL EDITOR
