Me urg&#237;a subir al quinto piso para asegurar una buena<br \/>\nubicaci&#243;n en el orden de llegada. Cada diez segundos doblaba la lengua<br \/>\npara sentir el filo de la muela fracturada, semejaba los colmillos de<br \/>\nun lobo hambriento. De paso hacia el consultorio le&#237; de soslayo el<br \/>\ntitular de las p&#225;ginas deportivas. &#8220;Pablo Sandoval batea la escalera&#8221;.<br \/>\nEn medio de la cin&#233;tica de mis pies, varias im&#225;genes pintaron una<br \/>\nacuarela surrealista en mis remembranzas. Vi a Kung Fu Panda<br \/>\ntrastabillando entre segunda y tercera base, parec&#237;a dif&#237;cil que<br \/>\nllegara pero hab&#237;a un brillo retador en sus pupilas. Tambi&#233;n apareci&#243;<br \/>\nun crep&#250;sculo cumanacoense. Pap&#225; me llam&#243;. Necesitaba ajustar el reloj<br \/>\ndel anuncio publicitario. Escond&#237; el radio transistor tras la paila de<br \/>\nlas siemprevivas del jard&#237;n y tragu&#233; saliva unas diez veces. En el<br \/>\nhorizonte de la pintura un ser mitol&#243;gico mitad C&#233;sar Tovar, mitad<br \/>\nPete Rose llegaba de cabeza a la antesala para lograr un triple.<br \/>\nEn la sala de espera ped&#237; prestado un peri&#243;dico. &#8220;San Francisco 8 &#160;-<br \/>\nColorado 5. 15 de septiembre 2011. Quinta victoria seguida. Los<br \/>\nGigantes evitan que Arizona se acerque m&#225;s al t&#237;tulo de la divisi&#243;n<br \/>\noeste de la Liga Nacional. Sandoval es el vig&#233;simo quinto Gigante y el<br \/>\ncuarto venezolano que batea la escalera. Cuando el Panda vio a Carlos<br \/>\nGonz&#225;lez estrellarse contra la pared supo que ten&#237;a oportunidad de<br \/>\ncompletar la escalera y apret&#243; la marcha. &#8216;Cuando vi que se cay&#243;,<br \/>\ncorr&#237; con toda la fuerza de mis piernas. A medio camino entre primera<br \/>\ny segunda supe que ten&#237;a la posibilidad de hacerlo&#8217;. Lleg&#243; a tercera<br \/>\nde cabeza con el triple que martillaba el escal&#243;n faltante de su<br \/>\nprimera escalera&#8221;. A la distancia o&#237;a mi nombre. Mis ojos formaban<br \/>\nparte de un chispero incandescente adheridos al peri&#243;dico.<br \/>\nPap&#225; ubic&#243; la escalera de aluminio bajo la publicidad de la empresa<br \/>\nde seguro. Me se&#241;al&#243; una peque&#241;a caja gris y sub&#237; hasta ella. Hab&#237;a un<br \/>\nreloj con varias escalas y un bot&#243;n escarlata. &#8220;Coloca la aguja grande<br \/>\nen las 7 horas y la peque&#241;a en los 10 minutos&#8221;. Cuando estaba a dos<br \/>\nescalones del piso, Pap&#225; se pas&#243; el pa&#241;uelo por la frente. &#8220;Tienes que<br \/>\nvolver a subir y apretar el bot&#243;n rojo&#8221;.<br \/>\nSalt&#233; sobre la grama de lochas y corr&#237; a la misma intensidad con que<br \/>\nse corre de segunda &#160;a tercera en b&#250;squeda de un triple. Saqu&#233; el<br \/>\nradio de entre las siemprevivas. Justo en el limonero del pasillo<br \/>\nposterior del jard&#237;n logre sintonizar. &#8220;We&#8217;re almost ready to start<br \/>\ntonight&#8217;s game at Metropolitan Stadium on September 19th, 1972&#8230;&#8221; A<br \/>\nmedida que sub&#237;a el radio, mejoraba la recepci&#243;n. Empec&#233; a monear el<br \/>\nlimonero. En la quinta rama todav&#237;a hab&#237;a chisporroteos de aceite<br \/>\ncaliente. Cuando desaparecieron las interferencias estaba sobre las<br \/>\npiedrecillas que cubr&#237;an el asfalto del techo de la casa. El ardor de<br \/>\nlas espinas en la cara y las manos apenas llegaba a caricia ante la<br \/>\ncorneta del transistor. &#8220;&#8230;the ball is at the bottom of right center<br \/>\nfield alley. Cesar Tovar touches second base and keeps running. Here<br \/>\nit comes the ball and it&#8217;s a three base hit for Tovar&#8230;what an excitant<br \/>\nplayer&#8230;&#8221;<br \/>\nMe levant&#233; para ir al ba&#241;o y not&#233; ciertas sonrisas ir&#243;nicas de la<br \/>\nsecretaria y los otros pacientes. &#8220;Los cuatro imparables los bate&#243;<br \/>\nante su compatriota Jhoulys Chap&#237;n. &#8216;Le dio a todo lo que le lanc&#233;. El<br \/>\njonr&#243;n fue con una recta. El sencillo ante un cambio. Y el doble<br \/>\ncontra una pelota baja y afuera, s&#243;lo le puso el bate y la coloc&#243; por<br \/>\nla banda contraria'&#8221;. De regreso volv&#237; a escuchar mi nombre y varias<br \/>\nrisas ahogadas.<br \/>\nEl tornasol del crep&#250;sculo dio paso a una oscuridad atravesada de<br \/>\nestrellas que hac&#237;an palidecer las luces artificiales. El juego lleg&#243;<br \/>\nal cierre del noveno inning Texas 3 &#8211; Minnesota 3. Cuando escuch&#233;<br \/>\ndesde la esquina del hospital, que ven&#237;a a batear Tovar con un hombre<br \/>\nen base, las suelas de mis zapatos apenas rozaban las piedrecillas. El<br \/>\naroma de las hojas de lim&#243;n impregnaban la noche. &#8220;&#8230;going&#8230;going&#8230;it&#8217;s a<br \/>\nwalk off home run for Cesar Tovar. The Twins beat the Rangers 5-3&#8230;<br \/>\nWhat a way to complete the cycle..&#8221;<br \/>\nMientras le&#237;a que Sandoval se un&#237;a al receptor de Milwaukee, George<br \/>\nKottaras como el segundo pelotero que batea la escalera en 2011, la<br \/>\nsecretaria se me acerc&#243;. &#8220;Se&#241;or &#191;no se va a ver con la doctora? Ya han<br \/>\npasado dos personas &#160;que llegaron despu&#233;s de usted..&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Hijo, tengo como media hora llam&#225;ndote para cenar &#191;Qu&#233; oyes?&#8221;. Pap&#225;<br \/>\nasomaba su rostro a ras del techo. El olor de papas fritas con ajo se<br \/>\nmezcl&#243; con la alegr&#237;a de saber que Tovar hab&#237;a bateado la escalera en<br \/>\nGrandes Ligas. Solo cuando puse los zapatos en el primer tramo de la<br \/>\nescalera de aluminio, respond&#237;. &#8220;Un juego de pelota, Pap&#225;&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Alfonso L. Tusa C.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>English translation<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>That morning there was a crowd before the mall&#8217;s elevators. I needed<br \/>\nto get to the fifth floor for a dentist consult. Every ten seconds I<br \/>\nput my tongue on my broken tooth. It seemed the teeth of a hungry<br \/>\nwolf. While striding to the dentist&#8217;s place I read at the distance a<br \/>\nheadline in the sports pages: &#8220;Pablo Sandoval hits for the cycle&#8221;.<br \/>\nIn the middle of my feet&#8217;s kinetics, several images painted a<br \/>\nsurrealistic picture in my memories. I saw Kung Fu Panda almost<br \/>\nfalling down between second and third base. It looked very difficult<br \/>\nfor him to arrive safe, but there was a challenging stare in his eyes.<br \/>\nIt also glowed a sunset from Cumanacoa, Venezuela. Dad called me. He<br \/>\nneeded to adjust the clock of the publicity ad on the roof of his<br \/>\noffice. I hid the transistor radio behind a bunch of flowers in the<br \/>\ngarden and swallowed saliva about ten times. In the horizon of the<br \/>\npicture a mythological monster half Cesar Tovar, half Pete Rose slid<br \/>\nheadfirst into third base to get a triple.<br \/>\nIn the dentist&#8217;s waiting room I asked for a newspaper. &#8220;San Francisco<br \/>\n8 &#160;- Colorado 5. September 15th, 2011. Fifth win in a row. The Giants<br \/>\nprevented Arizona from moving<br \/>\ncloser to clinching the NL West. Sandoval is the 25th Giant and the<br \/>\nfourth venezuelan hitting for the cycle. When the Panda saw Carlos<br \/>\nGonz&#225;lez crashing into the wall he knew he had a chance at history and<br \/>\nraised the speed. &#8216;When I saw him fall down, that&#8217;s when I started<br \/>\nrunning hard. Halfway between first and second that&#8217;s when I thought<br \/>\nI had a chance to make it.&#8217; Sandoval slid headfirst into third base<br \/>\nwith a triple to complete the first cycle of his career.&#8221; I heard my<br \/>\nname at the distance. My eyes remained welded to the paper.<br \/>\nDad put the aluminum ladder under the publicity ad. He showed me a<br \/>\nlittle grey box in the roof. I climbed to it. There was a clock with<br \/>\ntwo scales and a red button. &#8220;Put the big needle on the seventh hour<br \/>\nand the little one on the tenth minute.&#8221; When I was two steps from the<br \/>\nground, Dad put the handkerchief on his forehead. &#8220;You have to get<br \/>\nback and press the red button.&#8221;<br \/>\nI jumped over the grass and ran at the same strength it&#8217;s run from<br \/>\nsecond to third base looking for a triple. I took the radio out from<br \/>\nthe flowers. Just at the lemon tree in the garden&#8217;s rear path I could<br \/>\ntune the game. &#8220;We&#8217;re almost ready to start tonight&#8217;s game at<br \/>\nMetropolitan Stadium on September 19th, 1972&#8230;&#8221; Each time I raised the<br \/>\nradio above my head, the broadcast reception was better. I started to<br \/>\nclimb the tree. At the fifth branch it still could be heard some water<br \/>\non hot oil. When the interferences disappeared I was on the little<br \/>\nstones covering the asphalt of the roof. The burning of the lemon<br \/>\nthorns in my face and hands was nothing before the radio broadcast.<br \/>\n&#8220;&#8230;the ball is at the bottom of right center field alley. Cesar Tovar<br \/>\ntouches second base and keeps running. Here it comes the ball and it&#8217;s<br \/>\na three base hit for Tovar&#8230;what an excitant player&#8230;&#8221;<br \/>\nI got up to go to the bathroom and noticed some ironic smiles from<br \/>\nthe secretary and the other patients. &#8220;Sandoval batted the four hits<br \/>\nbefore his countryman Jhoulys Chac&#237;n. &#8220;He hit everything I threw. He<br \/>\nhit a homer with a fastball, the base hit was a changeup. The double<br \/>\nwas off the plate and down and he just put the bat on it and he hit it<br \/>\nto the other side. It was his night.&#8221; Coming back I heard again my<br \/>\nname and some mute smiles.<br \/>\nThe colors of the sunset preceded a darkness pierced by many stars<br \/>\nthat made pale the artificial lights. The game arrived to the bottom<br \/>\nof the ninth inning. Texas 3 &#160;-Minnesota 3. &#160;When I listened from the<br \/>\nhospital corner that Tovar was going to bat with a runner on base, my<br \/>\nshoes&#8217; soles floated on the little stones. The lemon leaves&#8217; essence<br \/>\nfilled the night. &#8220;&#8230;going&#8230;going&#8230;it&#8217;s a walk off home run for Cesar<br \/>\nTovar. The Twins beat the Rangers 5-3&#8230; What a way to complete the<br \/>\ncycle..&#8221;<br \/>\nWhile I read that Sandoval joined Milwaukee&#8217;s catcher, George<br \/>\nKottaras as the second player who hit for the cycle in 2011, the<br \/>\nsecretary got closer. &#8220;Mister, aren&#8217;t you going to see the doctor? Two<br \/>\npatients that arrived after you, have already been treated.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Son, I&#8217;ve been calling you for about half an hour to dinner. What<br \/>\nare you listening to?&#8221; Dad showed his face at the level of the roof.<br \/>\nThe fried potatoes with garlic&#8217;s smell mixed with the happiness of<br \/>\nknowing that Tovar had batted for the cycle in MLB. Only when I put my<br \/>\nshoes on the first step of the aluminum ladder, I answered. &#8220;A<br \/>\nbaseball game Dad&#8221;.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #888888\"><br \/>\nAlfonso L.
