Escribir los reglamentos de una instituci\u00c3\u00b3n requiere luego demostrar la disciplina necesaria para hacer cumplirlos. Sin embargo a lo largo de la historia se puede comprobar que han existido excepciones a las reglas. Desde esta \u00c3\u00b3ptica me atrevo a sugerir que instituciones como El Sal\u00c3\u00b3n de la Fama de las Grandes Ligas y el Sal\u00c3\u00b3n de la Fama del B\u00c3\u00a9isbol Venezolano consideren al menos discutir la posibilidad de crear un comit\u00c3\u00a9 de \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Casos excepcionales\u00e2\u20ac\u009d donde se considere a los peloteros que habiendo jugado al menos 5 temporadas vieron truncadas sus carreras por motivos de fuerza mayor.<\/p>\n
En este sentido sugerir\u00c3\u00ada estudiar los casos de Isa\u00c3\u00adas L\u00c3\u00a1tigo Ch\u00c3\u00a1vez en la LVBP y de Herb Score, Tony Conigliaro, Don Wilson y J.R Richards en MLB. Si existen m\u00c3\u00a1s casos parecidos a estos el comit\u00c3\u00a9 igual los estudiar\u00c3\u00ada, estos s\u00c3\u00b3lo son los nombres que m\u00c3\u00a1s recuerdo.<\/p>\n
El L\u00c3\u00a1tigo en s\u00c3\u00b3lo 5 temporadas en la LVBP y el sistema de granjas de los Gigantes de San Francisco, fue capaz de transformar un equipo perdedor en competitivo en cada juego donde sal\u00c3\u00ada a defender al Magallanes a mediados de la d\u00c3\u00a9cada sesenta, a pesar de dejar marca de 19 ganado y 24 perdidos, una buena cantidad de derrotas o juegos sin decisi\u00c3\u00b3n para \u00c3\u00a9l terminaron en desventaja de 1 o dos carreras, en cuatro de esas cin temporadas fue uno de los refuerzos m\u00c3\u00a1s disputados m\u00c3\u00a1s buscados para los play offs, fue campe\u00c3\u00b3n con La Guaira en 1965 y con el Caracas en 1968, 41 a\u00c3\u00b1os despu\u00c3\u00a9s sigue figurando entre los diez mejores lanzadores del Magallanes en varias categor\u00c3\u00adas. Implant\u00c3\u00b3 una marca de 17 juegos completos seguidos con los Comodoros de Decatur de la Midwest League Clase A, en 1965, ese a\u00c3\u00b1o tambien fue lider en aperturas (23), juegos completos (20) y blanqueos (7); dej\u00c3\u00b3 marca de 51-34 con 3.30 de efectividad en las Ligas Menores del b\u00c3\u00a9isbol organizado, el 09 de septiembre debut\u00c3\u00b3 en la Gran Carpa con los Gigantes versus los Cachorros de Chicago y fue capaz de dominar a Billy Williams y Ernie Banks, el 30 de septiembre logr\u00c3\u00b3 su \u00c3\u00banica victoria en Grandes Ligas ante los Filis de Filadelfia. El 23 de enero de 1968, mientras reforzaba a los Leones del Caracas derrot\u00c3\u00b3 3-0 a los Industriales del Valencia al tiempo que s\u00c3\u00b3lo les permiti\u00c3\u00b3 un imparable de Gustavo Gil en el primer episodio, a partir de ese momento retir\u00c3\u00b3 25 bateadores en fila para establecer una marca a\u00c3\u00ban vigente en juegos de post-temporada.<\/p>\n
Quiz\u00c3\u00a1s una medida exacta de lo que signific\u00c3\u00b3 Isa\u00c3\u00adas L\u00c3\u00a1tigo Ch\u00c3\u00a1vez para el b\u00c3\u00a9isbol venezolano se encuentra incrustada en una ma\u00c3\u00b1ana dominical de 1964 cuando luego de vencer a los Leones del Caracas 5-1, el L\u00c3\u00a1tigo debi\u00c3\u00b3 salir al terreno luego de concluir el partido porque el p\u00c3\u00bablico, donde hab\u00c3\u00ada muchos ni\u00c3\u00b1os, solicitaba su presencia. Y tambi\u00c3\u00a9n en otra ma\u00c3\u00b1ana dominical de 1968, cuando luego de vencer a un combinado de big leaguers puertorrique\u00c3\u00b1os 5-1, incluido Roberto Clemente qui\u00c3\u00a9n se fue de 4-0 ante el L\u00c3\u00a1tigo, los periodistas entrevistaron al astro bor\u00c3\u00adcua y este respondi\u00c3\u00b3: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Roberto Mu\u00c3\u00b1oz tiene un mundo en la bola. Pero el L\u00c3\u00a1tigo posee mayor variedad de lanzamientos\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n
En referencia a Herb Score se debe destacar que a\u00c3\u00ban cuando s\u00c3\u00b3lo 2 de sus 8 temporadas en Grandes Ligas fueron destacadas. Score tiene la marca de todos los tiempos de menos imparables permitidos por cada 9 innings lanzados con 5.8 en 1956. Adem\u00c3\u00a1s fue lider en ponches de la Liga Americana en 1955 (245) y 1956 (263) a\u00c3\u00b1o en el cual tambi\u00c3\u00a9n lider\u00c3\u00b3 la liga en blanqueos (5). Tambi\u00c3\u00a9n lider\u00c3\u00b3 la Liga Americana en ponches por cada 9 innings en 1955 (9.7) y 1956 (9.5). Ted Williams lo catalog\u00c3\u00b3 como el zurdo m\u00c3\u00a1s r\u00c3\u00a1pido que hubiese enfrentado. Nunca se sabr\u00c3\u00a1 a donde habr\u00c3\u00ada llegado Score si no hubiera sido golpeado por una l\u00c3\u00adnea bateada por Gil McDougald el 07 de mayo de 1957.<\/p>\n
De Conigliaro se debe reconocer su intensidad con el bate y el guante. Fue lider jonronero de la Liga Americana con 32 vuelacercas en su segunda temporada (1965). En 1967 se convirti\u00c3\u00b3 en uno de los peloteros m\u00c3\u00a1s jovenes en batear 100 jonrones en Grandes Ligas. Ese a\u00c3\u00b1o fue parte importante del \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Sue\u00c3\u00b1o Imposible\u00e2\u20ac\u009d mientras jug\u00c3\u00b3, muchos a\u00c3\u00ban comentan como hubiese sido el desenlace de la Serie Mundial de 1967 si Tony C hubiese jugado. Luego del bolazo que recibi\u00c3\u00b3 en el ojo izquierdo en agosto de 1967, gan\u00c3\u00b3 el premio de El regreso del A\u00c3\u00b1o en 1969 al batear 20 jonrones y empujar 82 carreras en 141 juegos. En 1970 empuj\u00c3\u00b3 116 carreras anot\u00c3\u00b3 89, larg\u00c3\u00b3 36 cuadrangulares. Todo lo hizo con visi\u00c3\u00b3n completa en un solo ojo.<\/p>\n
Don Wilson gan\u00c3\u00b3 al menos 10 juegos en todas las temporadas entre 1967 y 1974, s\u00c3\u00b3lo dej\u00c3\u00b3 de hacerlo en 1966 cuando s\u00c3\u00b3lo particip\u00c3\u00b3 en 1 juego. A excepci\u00c3\u00b3n de 1969 Wilson mantuvo una efectividad por debajo de 3.30 en sus otras 8 campa\u00c3\u00b1as de Grandes Ligas. S\u00c3\u00b3lo en 1970 dej\u00c3\u00b3 de ponchar al menos 100 bateadores. Lanz\u00c3\u00b3 2 no-hitters,6 juegos de 2 hits y 8 juegos de 3 hits. Adem\u00c3\u00a1s acumul\u00c3\u00b3 23 juegos donde al menos ponch\u00c3\u00b3 a 10 contrarios. Wilson dej\u00c3\u00b3 de existir el 05 de enero de 1975 por intoxicaci\u00c3\u00b3n con mon\u00c3\u00b3xido de carbono.<\/p>\n
J.R. Richard logr\u00c3\u00b3 al menos 18 victorias en cuatro de sus diez temporadas en Grandes Ligas. Fue lider en efectividad de la Liga Nacional en 1979 con 2.71. Comand\u00c3\u00b3 el viejo circuito en ponches en 1978 (303) y 1979 (313), esos a\u00c3\u00b1os tambien encabez\u00c3\u00b3 la liga en ponches por cada 9 episodios con 9.9 y 9.6 respectivamente. Ocup\u00c3\u00b3 la primera casilla de la Liga Nacional en hits permitidos por cada 9 episodios con 6.8 (1976), 6.3 (1978), 6.8 (1979). Tambi\u00c3\u00a9n fue lider de la Liga Nacional en radio de ponches por boleto con 3.19 en 1979. Richard dej\u00c3\u00b3 de lanzar en 1980 a consecuencia de un paro card\u00c3\u00adaco ocasionado por un trombo en su cuello.<\/p>\n
Tanto el L\u00c3\u00a1tigo en la LVBP, como Score, Conigliaro, Wilson y Richard en MLB alcanzaron logros significativos en el resumido tiempo que jugaron b\u00c3\u00a9isbol profesional. Esta premisa ligada al hecho de que se vieron forzados a dejar el b\u00c3\u00a9isbol por motivos de causa mayor, debe ser motivo de consideraci\u00c3\u00b3n especial por parte de un Comit\u00c3\u00a9 de casos excepcionales que deber\u00c3\u00ada implementar cada Sal\u00c3\u00b3n de la Fama.<\/p>\n
English Translation<\/strong><\/p>\n Writing about the rules of an institution requires the discipline enough to make them being accomplished. Anyway through the course of history there have happened exceptions to the rules. From this point of view I can suggest that institutions like The Baseball Hall of Fame in Copperstown and the Venezuelan Baseball Hall of Fame take at least the consideration of discussing of creating a Committee for \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Exceptional cases\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. In this Committee it would be discussed what can be done to recognize those ballplayers that at least played in 5 seasons but they couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t keep playing because of accidental reasons.<\/p>\n In that respect I would suggest to study the cases of Isa\u00c3\u00adas Latigo Ch\u00c3\u00a1vez in the Venezuelan Winter League and Herb Score, Tony Conigliaro, Don Wilson, J.R Richard in MLB. If there are more names in the same circumstances I think the Committee would study the too. These are just the names that I remember the most.<\/p>\n El L\u00c3\u00a1tigo in just 5 seasons in the Venezuelan Winter League and the San Francisco Giants farm system, was able of transforming a losing ball team into a competitive one each time he took the mound for the Magallanes Navigator in the middle sixties. Despite leaving a lifetime record of 19-24, many of those losses or no decisions were games that ended by an edge of one or two runs. In four of those 5 seasons, El L\u00c3\u00a1tigo was the most wanted reinforcement player for the play offs. He was champion with the La Guaira Sharks in the 1964-65 season and with the Caracas Lions in the 1967-68 season. 41 years later he still appears in the Magallanes stats for the best ten pitchers in the franchise history. El L\u00c3\u00a1tigo set a record of 17 complete games in a row with the Decatur Commodores of the Midwest League A in 1965. That year he also led the league in starts (23), complete games (20), shutouts (7). He left a 51-34 balance with an ERA of 3.30 in the Minor Leagues. On September 9th, 1967 he made his debut in the Big Show with the San Francisco Giants against the Chicago Cubs and he was able to put out Billy Williams and Ernie Banks. On September 30th, 1967, he got his only win in MLB before the Philadelphia Phillies. On January 23rd, 1968; while he played as a reinforcement player for the Caracas Lions, he established a record for the post-season as he retired in a row 25 batters of the Valencia Industrials. He only accepted a base hit from Gustavo Gil in the first inning to win that game 3-0. Maybe a better image of what Isa\u00c3\u00adas L\u00c3\u00a1tigo Ch\u00c3\u00a1vez meant to the venezuelan baseball is attached to a Sunday morning in 1964 when after beating the Caracas Lions 5-1, El L\u00c3\u00a1tigo had to get back to the field, because the fans, many children included, asked for him. Also in another Sunday morning of 1968 when he defeated a team of big leaguers from Puerto Rico 5-1. Roberto Clemente played in that team and batted 0 for 4 against El L\u00c3\u00a1tigo. The journalists interviewed the puertorrican star and he answered: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Roberto Mu\u00c3\u00b1oz has a great fastball but El L\u00c3\u00a1tigo has more variety in his deliveries.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n About Herb Score it must be said that despite of only having 2 remarkable seasons of his 8 in MLB, he has the lifetime record of less hits allowed per 9 innings with 5.8 in 1956. Besides that, Score was the AL struckout leader in 1955 (245) and 1956 (263) this year he also led the league in shutouts (5). He also led the AL in struckouts per 9 innings in 1955 (9.7) and 1956 (9.5). Ted Williams defined him as the fastest southpaw he ever faced. Nobody will ever know what Herb Score could have done as a pitcher in MLB if not for the Gil McDougald line drive that hit him on his face on May 7th, 1957.<\/p>\n It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s an act of justice to recognize Tony Conigliaro\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s intensity with his bat and his glove. He was the home run leader of the American League in his second season (1965). In 1967 he became one of the youngest players who hit 100 home runs in MLB. That year Tony C was an important piece of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Impossible Dream\u00e2\u20ac\u009d as long as he played. Many people still comment on what would have been the result of the 1967 World Series if Conigliaro had played for the Red Sox. After the beaning on his left eye in August 1967, Tony C won the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Come back player of the year\u00e2\u20ac\u009d award in 1969 by hitting 20 homers and batting in 82 runs in 141 games. In 1970 Tony C batted in 116 runs, scored 89 runs, hit 36 homers with complete vision in just an eye.<\/p>\n Don Wilson at least won 10 games in all the seasons between 1967 and 1974. He only didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t do it in 1966 when he only played one game. In all his seasons but 1969, Wilson kept his ERA below 3.30. Only in 1970 Wilson didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get at least 100 struckouts. He hurled 2 no-hitters, 6 two-hitters, and 8 three-hitters. Besides Wilson collected 23 games where at least he got 10 struckouts. Wilson passed away on January 5 th, 1975 because of poisoning with carbon monoxide.<\/p>\n J.R. Richard achieved at least 18 wins in four of his ten seasons in MLB. He was the ERA leader of the National League in 1979 with 2.71. He was the NL struckout leader in 1978 (303) and 1979 (313), he was the number one pitcher in the NL in allowed hits per 9 innings with 6.8 (1976), 6.3 (1978) and 6.8 (1979). He also led the NL in struckouts to walks ratio in 1979 with 3.19. Richard stopped pitching in 1980 because of a stroke due to a blood clot in his neck.<\/p>\n El L\u00c3\u00a1tigo in the Venezuelan winter league and Score, Conigliaro, Wilson , Richard in MLB reached important achievements during the short time they played professional baseball. This premise along with the fact that they had to stop playing baseball because of fortuitous circumstances, should be an incentive for exceptional consideration to a Committee for exceptional cases named by each Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n Alfonso\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s work has been featured in Venezuela\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s daily newspaper, El Nacional and in the magazine Gente en Ambiente, and he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s collaborated on several articles for newspapers, including the daily paper Tal Cual. He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s also written three books and biographies for SABR\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s BioProject.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Escribir los reglamentos de una instituci\u00c3\u00b3n requiere luego demostrar la disciplina necesaria para hacer cumplirlos.
