Baseball Letters from the Beyond: From Bob Feller to Max Scherzer – Cartas desde el Más Allá: De Bob Feller para Max Scherzer by Juan Vené January 27, 2025 My admired Max: I congratulate you with all my heart, because after turning 40 years old and after 17 seasons of hitting balls to home plate, the Yankees and Mets not only want you on their rosters, but yesterday at noon, they were discussing with agent Scott Boras your possible salary for this year, which should be around 20 million dollars. By the way, it is easy to see that the Yankees do not need you in the rotation. But they do not even take into account that you are coming off Tommy John surgery. And not only are they crazy in the Bronx and Flushing, but six other teams also show interest in your services. Listen Max: Of course I know how great it is to feel loved by the fans, to hear their applause, to receive their admiration, to sign autographs for them. I know this from my 18 years, until 1956, on the mounds of the Majors. As for you, last year, with the Rangers, you threw only 43.1 innings, with a 3.95 ERA and a 2-4 record, hampered by injury. In the last three seasons, you have only won 15. But, so far in your career, you have earned $351,050,658, including $43,333,334 in 2024. Let’s suppose that, to give a good life to your wife Erica, your four children and your four dogs, in the beautiful mansion in Jupiter, Florida, you spend $200,000 annually. With that rich family rhythm, in order to run out of what you have stored up until today, you would need more than 1,750 years, beyond 3,775, almost 20 centuries!! And, you say that you have to pay taxes, well you can pay them with what you get via cards and other souvenirs, plus television ads, plus your pensions, plus the interest on deposits in banks. Dear friend Max: In addition, you are loaded with a history of success, your record is a respectable, 216-112, 3.16, with 3,407 strikeouts, you wore six Major League uniforms, Diamondbacks, Tigers, Nationals, Dodgers, Mets and Rangers; you appeared in eight All-Star Games, you were part of two World Series winning teams, you won three Cy Young awards, twice you made the League’s roster of the year; You led in wins four times and strikeouts three times, you threw two no-hit games and left 20 batters with strikeouts in one game.. True, Max: You want to keep pitching, because you love baseball, not for the money. I love you a lot… Bob .

De paso, es fácil advertir que los Yankees no te necesitan en la rotación. Pero es que ni siquiera toman en cuenta que vienes de una operación Tommy John . Y no solo eres una locura en El Bronx y en Flushing, sino que otros seis equipos también demuestran interés en tus servicios. Óyeme, Max: Desde luego que sé bien lo grande que es sentirse querido por los fanáticos, oír sus aplausos, recibir su admiración, firmarles autógrafos. Lo sé por mis 18 años, hasta 1956, sobre las lomitas de las Mayores. En cuanto a ti, e l año pasado, con los Rangers, solamente tir aste 43. 1 innings, con efectividad de 3.95, y réecord de 2-4, aquejado por l a lesión. En las últimas tres temporadas, apenas sumaste 15 victorias. Pero, h asta ahora ha s cobrado en t u carrera, 351 millones 50 mil 658 dólares, incluso $43 millones 333 mil 334 en 2024. Supongamos que, para darles una buena vida a tu esposa Erica, a tus cuatro hijos y a tus cuatro perros, en la bella mansión de Jupiter, Florida, gastes 200 mil dólares anualmente. Con ese ritmo de familia rica, para que se te acabe lo almacenado hasta hoy, necesitarías más de mil 750 años, más allá del 3,775, ¡¡casi 20 Siglos!!. Y, expresas que tienes que pagar Impuestos, pues los puedes pagar con lo que obtienes vía barajitas y otros souvenirs, más anuncios de televisión, más tus pensiones, más los intereses por lo depositado en los bancos. Amigo Max: Además, estás cargado de una historia de éxitos, tu récord es respetable, 216-112, 3.16, con tres mil 407 strikeouts, vestiste seis uniformes de Grandes Ligas, Diamondbacks, Tigres, Nationals, Dodgers, Mets y Rangers; apareciste en ocho Juegos de Estrellas, fuiste parte de dos equipos ganadores de la Serie Mundial, ganaste tres Cy Young, dos veces entraste en el roster del año de la Liga; cuatro veces fuiste líder en victorias y tres en strikeouts, tiraste dos juegos sin hits y dejaste a 20 bateadores strikeouts en un juego.. Cierto, Max: Quieres seguir lanzando, porque amas al beisbol, no por el dinero. Te quiero un montón… Bob.
