S&#243;lo cuando logr&#233; pon&#233;rselos&#160;de&#160;sopet&#243;n, se los ajust&#243; y salt&#243; en el asiento. Casi se lanza filas abajo cuando Will Smith salta desde el Empire State Building para perseguir a Boris El Animal en 1969. Im&#225;genes&#160;dela crisis&#160;de&#160;Wall Street. Titulares del viaje del hombre a la luna y la m&#250;sica&#160;de&#160;la &#233;poca me hizo evocar a Stevie Wonder y su Yesterme, Yesteryou, Yesterday, junto a la maestra Rosa Elena&#160;de&#160;tercer grado y el concurso que organiz&#243; en el sal&#243;n para entregarle un album&#160;de&#160;barajitas del Apolo11 aqui&#233;n acertara todas la preguntas&#160;de&#160;la tablade&#160;multiplicar.<\/p>\n<p>Los Cadillacs y Fords&#160;de&#160;la &#233;poca desempolvaron al Plymouth Century&#160;negro&#160;de&#160;Pap&#225; y todas las veces que presionaba las teclas del radio cuando anunciaban a Sandro, o cuando regres&#243; a &#8220;Mi Viejo&#8221;&#160;de&#160;Piero porque se lo ped&#237; por favor. La persecuci&#243;n&#160;de&#160;Boris El Animal atraves&#243; varias fiestas hippie y bares psicod&#233;licos. En uno&#160;de&#160;ellos se quejaban&#160;de&#160;los Mets. Al llegar a Shea Stadium fue inevitable la descarga&#160;de&#160;Tom Seaver lanzando aquel juego casi perfecto. La remontada para desalojar a los Cachorros&#160;de&#160;Chicago del primer lugar&#160;de&#160;la Divisi&#243;n Este&#160;de&#160;la Liga Nacional.Aquella victoria 2-1&#160;de&#160;Jerry Koosman para igualarla Serie Mundialante los Orioles&#160;de&#160;Baltimore. Tug McGraw. Nolan Ryan. Gary Gentry. El bet&#250;n excesivo en el zapato&#160;de&#160;Cleon James que en el sexto inning del quinto juego&#160;de&#160;la Serie Mundialhizo que el &#225;rbitro reconociera que hab&#237;a sido golpeado por Dave McNally. Las palabras&#160;deDon Clendenon para Tom Seaver luego&#160;de&#160;perder el primero&#160;de&#160;la Serie Mundialante los Orioles. &#8220;Tranquilo, nosotros les vamos a ganar a esos tipos&#8221;. Los an&#225;lisis&#160;de&#160;los expertos dando por sentado el triunfo&#160;de&#160;los Orioles. Las atrapadas&#160;de&#160;Tommie Agee. La zambullida&#160;de&#160;Ron Swoboda. Ah&#237; record&#233; la sentencia caraquista: &#8220;Magallanes ser&#225; campe&#243;n cuando&#160; el hombre llegue a la luna y los Mets ganenla Serie Mundial&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Cuando sali&#243; el batazo que captur&#243; Cleon James para decretar el campeonato&#160;de&#160;los Mets, fluy&#243; toda la gesta magallanera a trav&#233;s&#160;de&#160;aquel relevo&#160;de&#160;10 episodios&#160;de&#160;Gregorio Machado, donde el mismo anot&#243; la carrera del triunfo desde primera base con triple&#160;de&#160;Gustavo Gil. Los blanqueos&#160;de&#160;Orlando Pe&#241;a y Don Eddy anteLa Guiaraen los dos primeros juegos&#160;de&#160;la final. El jonr&#243;n&#160;de&#160;Armando Ort&#237;z ante Miguel Cuellar en la inauguraci&#243;n&#160;de&#160;la Seriedel Caribe. El juego casi perfecto&#160;de&#160;Ritchie ante los Tigres&#160;de&#160;Licey&#160;de&#160;Rico Carty, Manuel Mota y C&#233;sar Cede&#241;o entre otras estrellas. La jugada&#160;de&#160;D&#225;maso Blanco para desactivar el squeeze play&#160;de&#160;Santos Alomar. El imparable&#160;deGustavo Gil para traer a D&#225;maso con el mensaje del campeonato del Caribe. El p&#250;blico cantando el himno nacional en el estadio Universitario.<\/p>\n<p>Los&#160;Hombres&#160;de&#160;Negro, finalmente colocan el protector&#160;de&#160;alien&#237;genas en la punta del Apolo 11. La noche cuando esper&#225;bamos la llegada&#160;de&#160;los astronautas a la luna, le dije a Carmen que me llamara cuando Neil Armstrong pisara la luna, siempre lamentar&#233; haberme quedado dormido. Al final Boris El Animal asesina al padre&#160;de&#160;Will Smith, cuando el ni&#241;o&#160;de&#160;5 a&#241;os pregunta por su Pap&#225;, Miguel&#237;n me abraz&#243; dur&#237;simo;&#160;de&#160;la misma forma que abrac&#233; a Pap&#225; cuando me carg&#243; aquella noche&#160;de&#160;1969 desde la casa hasta el hospital con una fiebre&#160;de&#160;m&#225;s&#160;de&#160;40 grados.<\/p>\n<p>Alfonso L. Tusa C.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>English translation<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At the theater&#8217;s entrance I insisted several times to see &#8220;The Mysterious Island2&#8221;. Miguel&#237;n kept looking at the giant lizards and bees. His eyes explored the poster at the side and repeated many times he wanted to see Men in Black 3. Since Wednesday he had told me: &#8220;I want to see that movie with you Dad&#8221; and hugged me. At the gate they gave us the 3D spectacles. Only when I could put them to him in a hurry, Miguelin adjusted them on his face and jumped on his seat. He almost flied downward on the rows when Will Smith jumps from theEmpireStateBuildingto pursue Boris The Animal in 1969. Images of the Wall Street crisis. Frontlines of the man&#8217;s journey to the moon and that age&#8217;s music made me remember Stevie Wonder and his Yesterme, Yesteryou, Yesterday, besides third grade teacher Rosa Elena who organized a contest to give a cards album of the Apollo 11 to the pupil who answered the most questions about the multiplication table.<\/p>\n<p>The Fords and Cadillacs from the age pulled dad&#8217;s black Plymouth Century and all the times he pressed the buttons in the radio when the tellers announced the singer Sandro, or when he got back to a radio station where it sounded &#8220;Mi Viejo&#8221; sung by Piero, just because I asked him &#8220;Please dad&#8221;. The pursuit of Boris The Animal passed by some hippie parties and psychedelic pubs. In one of those, people complained about the Mets. Watching Shea Stadium it was unavoidable looking at Tom Seaver hurling that almost perfect game. The coming from behind to displace the Chicago Cubs from first place in the National League East Division. That Jerry Koosman win 2-1 to even the World Series before the Baltimore Orioles. Tug McGraw. Nolan Ryan.GaryGentry. The shoe- polish on Cleon James shoe in the sixth inning of the World Series fifth game. Don Clendenon&#8217;s words for Tom Seaver after losing the first game of the World Series. &#8220;Don&#8217;t worry, we&#8217;re going to beat those guys&#8221;. The experts&#8217; analysis saying the Orioles were going to win the Series.&#160;Tommie Agee&#8217;s catches. Ron Swoboda diving in the outfield.&#160;There I recalled the caraquista statement: &#8220;Magallanes only will be the champion when the man arrive to the moon and the Mets win the World Series&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>When Cleon James caught that pop up and the Mets were champions, I lived again that Magallanes&#8217; magic season through that 10-inning relief of Gregorio Machado, where he scored the winning run from first base with a Gus Gil three base hit. Orlando Pe&#241;a and Don Eddy&#8217;s shutouts beforeLa Guairain the final series first two games. Armando Ort&#236;z&#8217;s home run before Mike Cuellar in the opening game of the 1970 Caribbean Series. The almost perfect game of Ritchie before the Licey Tigers of Carty, Manuel Mota and Cesar Cede&#241;o among other stars. D&#225;maso Blanco&#8217;s &#160;play to deactivate Sandy Alomar&#8217;s squeeze play. Gustavo Gil&#8217;s single to plate D&#225;maso Blanco in with theCaribbeanchampionship&#8217;s message. The people singing the venezuelan national anthem in the stadium Universitario.<\/p>\n<p>Men in Black finally set the alien protector in the Apollo 11&#8217;s tip top. The night when we waited for the astronauts&#8217; arrival to the moon, I told Carmen to call me when Neil Armstrong put his foot on the moon. I&#8217;ll always regret I stayed asleep.<\/p>\n<p>At the end Boris The Animal kills Will Smith&#8217;s father. When the 5-year-old kid asks for his Dad, Miguelin hugged me so hard; the same way I hugged my Dad when he carried me that 1969 night from home to the hospital. I had a fever of more than 40 degrees Celsius.<\/p>\n<p>Alfonso L.
