" Baseball fantasy or reality "

ST LOUIS --- " Fantasy Baseball to begin  so be prepared "

"sometimes i dont really  know if baseball is fantasy or reality, because something that  could be a fantasy for a minor league player one day, could be a reality the day after receiving a call to play in the majors, or a fan who only sees the baseball on television, and magazines or baseball cards might meet a baseball star player  the next day and get an autograph  "

"I remember back n the days, when i was about 11 years old i used to go to the university stadium in Caracas Venezuela and  jumped to the field  to ask for autographs, and when the players finished their pre-game warm up,  I used to go to the dugout with them and enjoy the game from there , it became like that for several seasons, I had the opportunity to see major league players from back in the days closely and now i thinking it wasnt a fantasy because i realized that the players from the baseball cards are just  people like us "

Today with the security situation in the world , its not posible to do that anymore, but still is the same ball game, but with different regulations, the game of baseball its been chaging fast,  the players, uniforms and statistics, even the salaries of the players.

I remember a  game Rick Ankiel from St Louis Cardinals hit a foul and the ball came right to me and catch it I was like saying wow, that was a fantasy for me before , but now im interacting with the baseball game , because the ball was in play just seconds before I have it in my hands.

"certainly saw Alex Gonzalez let go of his bat and hitting a fan in the face, that interacts but for the wrong side bad luck "

looks like a fantasy but is the fantasy baseball season and  the MLB website is offering 10 Gs to the  first place and other sites even 50 thousand dollars, looks like a fantasy,  but maybe in the future , players probablie gonna dissapear and just robots or computer animation gonna play the game, thats what i think .

I always think  about the evolution of baseball stadiums how they will look like , in the  MLB website , there is a section of " stadiums of the future " where you can view and contribute with ideas to do what you think is missing from the home of your favorite team, I think fans should interact more with the team and their favorite players, so the fantasy may become reality.

In my next column I will discuss ideas for a stadium near perfect or good!

see you.
