Hace unos d\u00c3\u00adas fui al cine a ver la segunda pel\u00c3\u00adcula de Narnia. Las im\u00c3\u00a1genes de los muchachos transport\u00c3\u00a1ndose a las aventuras de un barco mediante una pintura colgada en la pared de su cuarto me hizo ver varios episodios de otro barco que acaba de nombrar a su Almirante para volver a navegar en los mares picados del campeonato de b\u00c3\u00a9isbol.<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0Todas las aventuras activadas a trav\u00c3\u00a9s de la visi\u00c3\u00b3n de la pintura en la pared, se me antoja se activaron desde el momento cuando Carlos Garc\u00c3\u00ada confirm\u00c3\u00b3 su regreso como manager y Luis Blasini fue ratificado como Gerente Deportivo de los Navegantes del Magallanes. En medio del oleaje furioso y los pasajes oscuros, se empez\u00c3\u00b3 a escuchar voces de an\u00c3\u00a1lisis, planificaciones en el calendario, llamadas a peloteros. Los relumbrones de la pel\u00c3\u00adcula dejaban ver las piezas que el equipo no pudo utilizar con \u00c3\u00a9xito la temporada anterior. El mar segu\u00c3\u00ada picado, en el puesto de mando gir\u00c3\u00b3 el tim\u00c3\u00b3n y la proa atraves\u00c3\u00b3 el oleaje.<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0El abanico mostraba la arcilla m\u00c3\u00a1s anaranjada que haya visto en un diamante. Los batazos sal\u00c3\u00adan con estallidos de cotufas hacia todos los rincones del campo. La sirena levantaba los gritos de los aficionados hasta que la emoci\u00c3\u00b3n desbordaba su espuma\u00c2\u00a0 entre los chisporroteos del radio que desplegaba la narraci\u00c3\u00b3n del juego desde un rinc\u00c3\u00b3n del cuarto oscuro luego del octavo inning.<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0Estrujaba el cr\u00c3\u00a1neo sobre la almohada buscando el mejor \u00c3\u00a1ngulo de la jugada. La voz de Delio Amado Le\u00c3\u00b3n dibujaba las im\u00c3\u00a1genes que s\u00c3\u00b3lo ve\u00c3\u00adamos despu\u00c3\u00a9s de acostarnos. Los uniformes cargados de tierra, los spikes cortando manos o medias sanitarias, los pitchers usando una chaqueta luego de llegar a primera base. Aquellas transmisiones \u00e2\u20ac\u0153televisivas\u00e2\u20ac\u009d llenaban de creatividad el campo visual\u00c2\u00a0 y muchas veces mezcl\u00c3\u00a1bamos lo que dec\u00c3\u00ada el narrador con lo que hab\u00c3\u00adamos jugado temprano en el solar de asfalto. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153M\u00c3\u00ada, m\u00c3\u00ada. D\u00c3\u00a9jamela\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153\u00c2\u00a1M\u00c3\u00a1talo en la goma!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d M\u00c3\u00a1s de una vez me despert\u00c3\u00a9 sobresaltado por la mano de Felipe o la de Jes\u00c3\u00bas Mario en mi hombro. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153\u00c2\u00bfDe qu\u00c3\u00a9 est\u00c3\u00a1s hablando t\u00c3\u00ba?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. En mi mente s\u00c3\u00b3lo burbujeaban retazos del juego donde hab\u00c3\u00ada participado esa ma\u00c3\u00b1ana en el solar de asfalto del frente de la casa. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153All\u00c3\u00a1 va una l\u00c3\u00adnea entre dos, la bola parece que va a pic\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6all\u00c3\u00a1 se lanza de cabeza Armando Ortiz, que barbaridad de jugada amigos, Ortiz ha tomado la pelota de cord\u00c3\u00b3n de zapato, dio una vuelta de carnero\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Al volver la mirada hacia la platabanda retom\u00c3\u00a9 las im\u00c3\u00a1genes del estadio Universitario.<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0El barco apenas inicia la extensa ruta hacia octubre. Desde las claraboyas del puente de mando es posible ver aun el mar picado y el cielo oscuro. El mismo panorama que atraves\u00c3\u00b3 el nav\u00c3\u00ado de Narnia. \u00c2\u00bfSe encontrar\u00c3\u00a1 la espada que permita hallar la armon\u00c3\u00ada y el compromiso de trabajar en equipo?<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0El oleaje se estrella por encima de la l\u00c3\u00adnea de flotaci\u00c3\u00b3n mientras un tintineo de metales\u00c2\u00a0 truena en la sala de mando, el Almirante ajusta el catalejos\u00c2\u00a0 sobre un horizonte cuajado de sombras y fantasmas de dragones sobrevolando el m\u00c3\u00a1stil. En un movimiento brusco los salientes del tim\u00c3\u00b3n giran hasta disparar la frecuencia. Todos los esp\u00c3\u00adritus internos hacen crujir el compartimiento hasta que la voz del Almirante estremece el barco. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153A estribor. Hacia all\u00c3\u00a1 se encuentra el tesoro perdido\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. El segundo de a bordo se estruja los ojos, sacude la cabeza y lanza miradas en 360\u00c2\u00ba hasta reconocer los estragos de unas<\/p>\n
decisiones inexplicables.<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0Los crujidos del maderamen descubren incertidumbres a la luz de la luna \u00c2\u00bfQui\u00c3\u00a9nes jugar\u00c3\u00a1n en octubre? \u00c2\u00bfCu\u00c3\u00a1ntos permanecer\u00c3\u00a1n toda la temporada? \u00c2\u00bfA cu\u00c3\u00a1ntos pitchers A, o AA les permitir\u00c3\u00a1n jugar? \u00c2\u00bfCu\u00c3\u00a1ntos jugar\u00c3\u00a1n la temporada completa? Son im\u00c3\u00a1genes proyectadas en la pared del puesto de mando. Un fino l\u00c3\u00a1piz desliza sobre un pergamino y los primeros trazos de una ruta asoman en el mar, hay un trecho largo para cavilar y los duendes saltan a babor y estribor buscando confundir los ojos del Almirante. Hay una luz que parpadea al fondo de la oscuridad, hacia all\u00c3\u00a1 apunta la proa del barco.<\/p>\n

English translation<\/p>\n
Some days ago I went to see the second movie about Narnia. The images of the kids moving on the adventures of a ship through a picture hung from the wall of their bedroom made me see some episodes of another ship that recently named its Captain to get back to navigate on the furious seas of the Venezuelan baseball winter league,<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0All of the adventures turned on through the picture on the wall, I think got activated from the moment when Carlos Garc\u00c3\u00ada agreed to come back as the manager and Luis Blasini was ratified as the general manager of the Magallanes Navigators team. In the middle of the furious waves and the dark passageways, it began to be listened voices<\/p>\n
of analysis, deadlines in the calendar, phone calls to the ballplayers<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0. The beams spreading from the movies discovered all the weapons the team couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t use with success last season. The sea kept furious, the rudder spun in the commanding room and the bow advanced through the waves.<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0The horn showed the most orange of the clay dust I had seen in a baseball diamond. The balls came out from the bats as popcorn spread to all the field\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s corners. The siren raised the fans\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 shouts until the emotion flooded its foam among the interferences of a radio broadcasting a ballgame from the corner of a dark bedroom after the eighth inning.<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0I rubbed my skull against the pillow seeking for the best angle to see the ballgame. Delio Amado Le\u00c3\u00b3n\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 voice, through the radio broadcasting, painted the images that we only saw after we got to bed. The uniforms loaded with clay dust from the horn. The spikes cutting hands or sanitary socks, the pitchers wearing a jacket after arriving to first base. Those \u00e2\u20ac\u0153TV\u00e2\u20ac\u009d broadcastings filled with creativity our visual field and plenty of times we mixed what the teller was saying with what we have played in the sandlot early in the day. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I got it. I got it\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u0153C\u00e2\u20ac\u2122mon fire him at home\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6\u00e2\u20ac\u009d More than once I awoke because of the hand of Jesus Mario or Felipe in my shoulder. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153\u00c2\u00bfWhat are you talking about?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d In my mind I only had bubbles of the game I played that morning in the sandlot just in front of our home. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a line drive to the gap. It seems a doub\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6Armando Ort\u00c3\u00adz dives over the grass and takes the ball. What a play\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6he first tried to take the ball shoestring but then has made this fantastic play.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d When I saw to the ceiling I started watching again the game at the stadium Universitario.<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0The ship it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just beginning a long route until October. From the commanding room windows it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s possible to still see the furious sea and the dark sky. The same landscape the ship of Narnia went through. Will it be found the sword for finding the harmony and the compromise of performing as a teamwork?<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0The waves strike above the flotation mark as a metallic noise thunders in the commanding room. The Captain adjusts his binocular over a horizon filled with shadows and dragon phantoms flying around the sails. The rudder spins with a great frequency after a Captain`s hard movement. All of the inner spirits shake the room up as the Captain\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s voice rumbles in the ship, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153To the right. In that direction is the lost treasure\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. The second on board squeezes his eyes, shakes his head and delivers gazes in 360 degrees until recognizing the consequences of taking the wrong decisions.<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0The crunching of the ship\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s wood discover hesitation below the moonlight. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Which players will be regulars in October? How many will remain the whole season? How many pitchers from Class A or AA will be allowed to play? How many will pitch the whole season?. These are images projected on the commanding room\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s wall. A sharp pencil slides against an old paper and the first traces of a route appear on the sea, there is a long way to reflect, the elves jump to the left and the right of the ship trying to confuse the Captain\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s eyes. There is a light that blinks in the darkness, that way goes the ships bow.<\/p>\n
