04/04/1904:
To absolutely no one's surprise, 🇳🇴 DH John Anderson of the ☎️ #TelegrafistasARR hit the first home run of the 1904 season, though it's notable that he did it against ace RHP Armando Rodríguez of the 🍞 #CuervosPAT.
108.7 MPH off the bat, 446 feet over right.
2B Aarón Saldaña signs with the #TelegrafistasARR 📞 for 2,340 pesos, which even a year ago was ace-pitcher money. The Teles' fatal weakness was not scoring runs in important moments, and Saldaña and trade acquisition 🇳🇴 LF John Anderson will change that.
atl-01.statsplus.net/lnp/reports/...
Trade slide with all the basics. The Telegrafistas de Arroyo get Norwegian LF John Anderson (scouting grades: Contact 60, Power 80, Speed 80, Fielding 60, Arm 60), while the Navegadores de Naguabo get Tunisian LHP Karim Anbar (scouting grades: Stuff 85, Movement 60, Control 60, Stamina 30, Pickoff 65) and 9,500 cash.
12/12/1903:
The #NavegadoresNAG 🧭 embark on a baffling offseason. Just two days after making extensive roster cuts, they send 🇳🇴 LF John Anderson (29, S/R, 80 OVR) to the #TelegrafistasARR 📞 for 🇹🇳 LHP Karim Anbar (20, 51 OVR / 61 POT) and 9,500 pesos.
We are, for the most part, confused.
Time for the Naves to take care of business away from home.
vs. #TelegrafistasARR ☎️ (0-2)
Pitcher: 🇮🇪 RHP Padraic Quinlevan
#NavegadoresNAG 🧭 lineup:
🇵🇷 SS Valdez
🇻🇺 CF Kalsakau
🇲🇽 RF del Castillo
🇳🇴 DH Anderson
🇵🇷 LF Santiago
🇺🇸 2B Shrdlu
🇦🇺 3B Balk
🇺🇸 1B Feaster
🇦🇷 C Stonehand
Second verse, same as the first—Valdez gets caught stealing one pitch later.
Kalsakau grounds out to first on a full count, and del Castillo only gets to 2-2 before letting the shortstop get him out.
After 1: #TelegrafistasARR 📞 remain ahead, 1-0.
Downie leaves too much of his 2-1 curveball over the plate, and René González—who, you guessed it, was also a thorn in Ted Balloon's side—knocks it into left field.
Santiago's throw isn't in time, and Martín scores from 2nd.
#TelegrafistasARR 📞 ahead, 1-0. Still 2 on, 2 outs.
Ben Downie, the Flying Scotsman, begins Game 2 of the Serie Preliminar against 1891's best rookie, Víctor Hugo Reyes of Arroyo—who lances a base hit through the right side on a 2-2 curveball.
1 on, no outs for the #TelegrafistasARR 📞 before Downie can even settle in.
We're not done. Time for late-night postseason baseball.
