3 influential Baseball Players of the Dominican Republic

 


The great Roberto Clemente end must be flagship of all players of baseball D.R. past, present and future. Born in August-18-1934 in poverty Roberto was noticed by the Pittsburgh pirates organization and signed a contract for professional baseball in 1955.


Clemente was a superb athlete known for his bat and his glove, but what really stood out was his incredibly powerful and accurate throwing arm, which helped him gun runners down at any base from his post in right field.


In his career, Clemente won 12 gold gloves, played in 12 games stars and in 1966 was elected best player of the National League.


December 31, 1972, Roberto was on a mission of mercy, helping the victims of the earthquake inNicaragua when the plane in which he was travelling crashed. His body was never found.


He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1973, the only player to never have the mandatory waiting period 5 years after retirement.


Julian Javier, born 9 August 1936 is my second favorite to come out of the Dominion Republic. Javier, ironically was also spotted and signed a contract for professional baseball by the Pittsburgh Pirates, the same team who signed Clemente.


Javier played only one season with Pittsburgh when he was traded with the Cardinals in St. Louis, where he proved to be a player of second goal super star. He resumed the names of nick "hoolie" and the "Ghost" because of its long range commissioning, quick hands and the uncanny ability to avoid the base runner slides into second base trying to collide with him.


It became part of baseball history when he, Bill White (1st), Dick Groat (ss) and Ken Boyer (3rd) became the first team start row infield in an all-star game.


Juan Marichal, born 10-20 - 1937 is the third. Signed by the Giants in San Francisco, with whom he played all but the last two years of his career , as delivered to the right high kick pitcher.


It is this signature leg high kick, which was almost completely vertical on the winding-up, which makes him so recognisable and because that he his the ball with the kick, a launcher winner successfully.


Perhaps its most inaccessible realization came in 1963 when he and Baseball pitching great Warren Spahn dueled in a game that the Giants won 1-0 on a Willie Mays circuit in the 16th round. Spahn and Marichal launched across the 16 sleeves, a feat which will never be duplicated.


Juan was elected to the baseball Hall of Fame in 1983.

A list of the highest paid football-players, NFL


Researching more information in this article, the highest wages for the latest information in a presentation is the NFL in 2008. It should be noted that this list changes on a yearly basis. In addition, wage increases in the position to be adopted by the Commission on an annual basis by THE NFL. Salary-strain is a sum of money NFL team can spend on the salaries of their players in a year. Salary position has grown year by year, gradually back in 1994.

NFL salary cap, such as the players Union collective bargaining agreement is negotiated by the current all football% 62.24 32 groups related to revenue divided by the Period that the .2009-the image is 128 million dollars.

The following shows the continuous increase of the salary cap since 1999:

The salary Cap/Team NFL Player Salaries according to year:

2008 116 million dollars

2007, 109 million dollars

2006 102 million dollars

2005, 85.5 million dollars

2004 80.5 million dollars

2003 75 million dollars

2002 71 million dollars

2001 67.5 million dollars

2000 62.2 million dollars

1999 58.4 million dollars

When the salary-cap grows, so does the real wages of players. [3] [4] the question is, how the money has been dealt. is a kind of salary distribution model that embryo production teams approved in third countries, the use of which is not known to the public. [1] [2] what is known is that at the beginning of the 20 salaries 2008 was only a couple of the highest paid player quarterbacks. 2008 was Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. yet So who were of the highest paid NFL players 2008. the following table describes all of the:

TOP 20 HIGHEST PAID PLAYERS in 2008

1. the QB Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh $ 27,701,920

2. DE Jared Allen, Minnesota $ 21,119,256

3. the WR Larry Fitzgerald, Arizona $ 17,103,480

4. the QB JaMarcus Russell, Oakland $ 16,872,400

19. CB Terence Newman, Dallas $ 12,611,240

20. RB Marion Barber, Dallas $ 12,522,400

Using the concept of ' pay ' within the NFL, examine in more detail.As noted earlier, how groups pay of musical instruments and they place them value is known only to a few, including player agent.It is interesting to note that having a high wage players does not necessarily mean the success of the group.

Case.One of the most successful NFL teams, over the last ten years has been the New England Patriots. only one fact Patriots player is in the top 20 2008.This is the size of the receiver Randy Moss.Yet, for a period of ten years, Oakland, California, which has two players in the top 20, is not to see the Patriots have had success.As in case they do not even come close.

In addition, five of the top 20 players of the Dallas Cowboys, you can see the 2008 list, but they have not been Super Bowl since 1995 (Super Bowl XXX), it seems that the New England Patriots such as spread their players around money, so that one or a few players to get a huge salary, even if the other players in a fraction of the number of Randy Moss can be an exception to this rule.

Wage distribution, which is the Patriots with the concept of the Group employ the concept of this group, they have set up their players must play football. Caliber organization to believe that it requires a team effort to win football games, and is only a few players to a superior effort. maybe it is one of the reasons, the Patriots have been so successful over the past ten years. [1] [2] not forget, that the Patriots is one of the best managed groups, the NFL and the management of the appropriate to that salary distribution. group owner Robert Kraft and head coach Bill Belichick seem to know what they are doing.

In any event, the NFL Player salaries continue to grow each year. [1] [2] Today the smallest rookie makes naked for a period of at least $ 285,000.00 (at least at the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival), from the point of view of professional sports. [2] [3] all of the NFL players are the highest paid. therefore, so many college players ask NFL jets. but also it should be recalled that the NFL player career average duration is only 4 years, of course, He may, in such a way. [2] [3] the player wants to make all the short during his career. the question is, should these very wages of players.

Their remuneration depends on the equally. how many other people can do work they are doing Fewer persons who? "can be greater than the number of jobs to run for a certain remuneration. Have many people may be the NFL players earn maximum. Moreover, as part of the revenue is produced only in the absence of players, without no enterprise. and since the fans are willing to pay high ticket prices, I would have to answer the question, that Yes, players earn remuneration received.

Football is entertainment, but it is a form of Americans cannot do without Even Roman period entertainment. [1] [2] it was necessary to see the people in order to tackle the problem of gladiaattoreita Colosseums. the Romans had to pay to see their Torres in the fight against death. Sometimes all the seats were free, and if the rich person was given a show to pay money. [1] [2] at other times had to be paid, and it will cost more money than a good seats to bad seats, so the poor people had to sit way until the beginning of the Colosseum, where it is difficult to see. Although Colosseums was their point is a nosebleed seats. [1] [2], the Romans were willing to pay for the degree of competition still existing in the form to see gladiator. This willingness to pay to see the competition has existed throughout the history of mankind.

Every year the fans watch equipment, hope that their team achieve the Super Bowl or sometimes simply end up winning the season with. and finally we really care too much about the players salary. as long as we enjoy our team, we will continue to pay the costs incurred by watching the play high ticket prices.

In such a way as to make, is really two of the basic regulation, the reason why the NFL players can make a million dollars per year. [1] [2] First and foremost fans are willing to pay high ticket prices to see their team play. [1] [2] on the other hand, have a lot of people play the NFL as a result of the high demand of this their skill. Face it, not many people have the skill Tom Brady or Ben Roethlisberger to. Both tickets demand is still high, when players continue to enjoy high income.
