Ha pasado m\u00c3\u00a1s de medio siglo desde aquella temporada de los \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Whiz kids\u00e2\u20ac\u009d y su dram\u00c3\u00a1tico pase a la Serie Mundial de 1950 al ganar el bander\u00c3\u00adn de la Liga Nacional con un triunfo en el \u00c3\u00baltimo juego de la temporada. El estelar Robin Roberts hizo tres aperturas en cinco d\u00c3\u00adas incluida la del triunfo decisivo, por eso no pudo abrir el primer juego.<\/p>\n
Los expertos pronosticaban que los mulos de Manhattan ganar\u00c3\u00adan la serie en cinco juegos porque ten\u00c3\u00adan un gran equipo y sobre todo buen pitcheo en los brazos de Vic Rashi, Allie Reynolds, Ed Lopat, Tom Ferrick, Whitey Ford. Eran los Yankees de Joe DiMaggio, Phil Rizzuto, Johnny Mize, Billy Martin, Yogi Berra.<\/p>\n
Los Filis contaban con Richie Ashburn, un catcher convertido en jardinero porque cada vez que sal\u00c3\u00ada un rolling al cuadro llegaba a hacer la asistencia detr\u00c3\u00a1s de primera antes que el corredor, Del Ennis, Bill Nicholson, Dick Sisler, Mike Goliat y los lanzadores Robin Roberts, Jim Konstanty, Ken Heintzelman, Russ Meyer, Bob Miller.<\/p>\n
Este 2009 los Filis llegan a la Serie Mundial luego de ganar la Divisi\u00c3\u00b3n Este de la Liga Nacional. Vencieron a los Rockies de Colorado (3-1) en la serie divisional. Y luego dejaron en el camino a los Dodgers de Los \u00c3\u0081ngeles (4-1). Esta es la novena de Ryan Howard, Jimmy Rollins, Shane Victorino, Chase Utley, Raul Ib\u00c3\u00a1\u00c3\u00b1ez, Jayson Werth, Carlos Ruiz. Cliff Lee, Pedro Mart\u00c3\u00adnez, Cole Hamels, A.J Happ, Jaime Moyer, Brad Lidge, Ryan Madson, Chad Durbin.<\/p>\n
Los Yanquis trazaron su ruta a trav\u00c3\u00a9s del bander\u00c3\u00adn del Este de la Liga Americana, una barrida ante los Mellizos de Minnesota en la serie divisional, y luego dejaron encunetados a los Angelinos de Anaheim (4-2) en la serie de campeonato. Alex Rodr\u00c3\u00adguez es la respuesta a Howard, Derek Jeter la de Jimmy Rollins, Johnny Damon puede equipararse a Victorino; adem\u00c3\u00a1s de Mark Teixeira, Robinson Can\u00c3\u00b3, Jorge Posada e Hideki Matsui. El cuerpo de lanzadores est\u00c3\u00a1 encabezado por CC Sabbathia, A.J. Burnett, Andy Pettite, Joba Chamberlain, Phil Hughes, Ian Kennedy, D\u00c3\u00a1maso Marte, Alfredo Aceves, Mariano Rivera.<\/p>\n
El primer juego de la serie de 1950 lo ganaron los Yanquis 1-0, con trabajo completo de Rashi ante Konstanty relevado por Meyer en el noveno. Los Mulos repitieron con victoria 2-1 en el segundo. Fue un duelo entre Reynolds y Roberts que decidi\u00c3\u00b3 DiMaggio con vuelacercas en el d\u00c3\u00a9cimo episodio. Ferrick le dio el tercer lauro a los Yanquis 3-2, en relevo de Lopat qui\u00c3\u00a9n sali\u00c3\u00b3 en el noveno; Meyer sali\u00c3\u00b3 derrotado en relevo de Konstanty y Heintzelman. Los Yanquis completaron la barrida con victoria 5-2 ejecutada por Whitey Ford ante Bob Millar.<\/p>\n
A\u00c3\u00ban cuando los \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Whiz kids\u00e2\u20ac\u009d ven\u00c3\u00adan de un gran momento al ganar el bander\u00c3\u00adn de la Liga Nacional, su cuerpo de lanzadores lleg\u00c3\u00b3 extenuado al Cl\u00c3\u00a1sico de 1950. Cincuenta y nueve a\u00c3\u00b1os m\u00c3\u00a1s tarde los cu\u00c3\u00a1queros llegan con varios d\u00c3\u00adas de descanso a la Serie Mundial en medio de una confrontaci\u00c3\u00b3n muy pareja en todos los terrenos. \u00c2\u00bfLleg\u00c3\u00b3 la hora de vengar a los \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Whiz kids\u00e2\u20ac\u009d? \u00c2\u00bfGanar\u00c3\u00a1n los Yanquis otra Serie Mundial?<\/p>\n
English Translation<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been more than half a century since that season of the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Whiz Kids\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and their dramatic advance to the 1950 World Series, after winning the National League pennant with a victory in the last day of the season. The pitching star Robin Roberts made three starts in five days including that of the clinching win. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s why he couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t start the first game of the series.<\/p>\n The experts predicted that the Yanks would win the series in five games because they had a great team and most of all an outstanding pitching staff with Vic Rashi, Allie Reynolds, Ed Lopat, Tom Ferrick, Whitey Ford. Those were the Yankees of Joe DiMaggio, Phil Rizzuto, Johnny Mize, Billy Martin, Yogi Berra.<\/p>\n The Phillies had Richie Ashburn, a catcher shifted to outfielder because each time there was a grounder to the infield he always arrived behind first base before the runner, Del Ennis, Bill Nicholson, Dick Sisler, Mike Goliat, and the hurlers Robin Roberts, Jim Konstanty, Ken Heintzelman, Russ Meyer, Bob Miller.<\/p>\n In 2009 the Phillies arrive to the World Series after winning the National League East Division. Afterwards they beat the Colorado Rockies (3-1) in the NLDS. Then they stopped the Los Angeles Dodgers (4-1) in the NLCS. This is the team of Ryan Howard, Jimmy Rollins, Shane Victorino, Chase Utley, Raul Ib\u00c3\u00a1\u00c3\u00b1ez, Jayson Werth, Carlos Ruiz. Cliff Lee, Pedro Mart\u00c3\u00adnez, Cole Hamels, A.J Happ, Jaime Moyer, Brad Lidge, Ryan Madson, Chad Durbin.<\/p>\n The Yankees traced their way through the conquest of the American League East Division pennant, a swept of the Minnesota Twins in the ALDS, then they defeated the Anaheim Angels (4-2) in the ALCS. Alex Rodr\u00c3\u00adguez is the answer to Howard, Derek Jeter the one for Jimmy Rollins, Johnny Damon can keep the pace of Victorino. Besides they have Mark Teixeira, Robinson Can\u00c3\u00b3, Jorge Posada e Hideki Matsui. The pitching staff is led by CC Sabbathia, A.J. Burnett, Andy Pettite, Joba Chamberlain, Phil Hughes, Ian Kennedy, D\u00c3\u00a1maso Marte, Alfredo Aceves, Mariano Rivera.<\/p>\n The Yanks won the first game of the 1950 World Series 1-0, Rashi got the win in a complete game before Konstanty who was relieved by Meyer in the ninth inning. The Manhattan Mules won the second contest 2-1. It was a pitching duel between Reynolds and Roberts decided by DiMaggio with a dinger in the tenth frame. Ferrick gave the third victory to the Yankees 3-2, he relieved Lopat in the ninth inning. Meyer got the loss in relieve of Konstanty and Heintzelman. The Yankees completed the swept with a 5-2 win executed by Whitey Ford before Bob Miller.<\/p>\n Although the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Whiz kids\u00e2\u20ac\u009d came from a great momentum after winning the National League pennant, their pitching staff arrived exhausted to the 1950 Classic. Fifty nine years later the Phillies arrive with some resting days to the World Series in the middle of a very tight confrontation in all the fields. Is it the time for avenging the Whiz kids? Will the Yankees win another World Series Champioship?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":75,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1707","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
