(image credit: Wikimedia/GoogleMan)

La Vida Baseball, the nation’s leading multi-language Latino baseball lifestyle media company, is gearing up to launch its newest show Mas Que Un Juego, on Thursday, January 7, 2021 via La Vida Baseball’s (@lavidabaseball) social media platforms. The new show celebrates the Latino experience through unfiltered conversations with some of the biggest names in baseball including current and former Latino MLB players. This announcement is the first of several new content initiatives and distribution partnerships planned for 2021.

“As Latinos, it is important that we continue to shape our own narrative. Opportunities like Mas Que Un Juego help us do that,” says Luis Tiant, former Boston Red Sox pitcher.

The first captivating episode features a candid and compelling conversation on culture and identity with Hall of Famer Edgar Martinez, Hall of Famer Vladimir Guerrero and former MLB great, pitcher Luis Tiant.

Mas Que Un Juego is an opportunity for fans to hear the most revered figures in sports openly talk about their experiences and stories. The half-hour long episode features authentic and passionate discussions about the game of baseball and the issues that are important to Latinos and their communities.  Listeners are granted unprecedented access as these players share intimate stories about their lives outside of baseball and what it means to be Latino in professional sports in the United States.

“La Vida Baseball is launching Mas Que Un Juego to reflect a time when we’re celebrating all things Latinx and taking a hard look at the lack of inclusion in the United States,” says Jesse Menendez, La Vida Baseball Managing Director. “It’s important to continuously engage the growing Latino audience in authentic ways by sharing our stories and journey - from how we arrived in the U.S., to how our upbringing in our país has shaped who we are, uplifting stories about our beloved communities and hearing how the struggles of being Latinx and immigrants applies to all of us, including pro athletes.”

La Vida Baseball host and producer Jennifer Mercedes (@LaChicaDeportes) is at the helm of this roundtable discussion. Mas Que Un Juego will air on La Vida Baseball’s (@lavidabaseball) social media platforms and LaVidaBaseball.com. The series will run throughout 2021.

LISTEN TO TLR’S LATEST PODCAST:

By Kody Fairfield

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has likened the harassment of government officials and their families outside of Venezuela to the treatment of Jews under the Nazis, report Reuters.

“We are the new Jews of the 21st century that Hitler pursued,” Maduro said during the cabinet meeting. “We don’t carry the yellow star of David … we carry red hearts that are filled with desire to fight for human dignity. And we are going to defeat them, these 21st century Nazis.”

Maduro also said in comments to a televised cabinet meeting late on Tuesday that planned opposition rallies in Caracas on Wednesday evening were reminiscent of rallies during the rise of Nazism and fascism in pre-World War Two Europe, reported Reuters.

Venezuelans living abroad, many of whom have fled the country’s economic chaos, have in recent weeks accosted visiting state officials and their family members, said Reuters.

In his statements, Maduro is essentially likening the treatment of his government representatives to the horrific plight which led to the death of six million Jews. What is sickeningly ironic about the Venezuelan President’s statement, a president who is a member of the United Socialist Party, is that he compares the treatment of those who are members of an oppressive regime, to the the treatment of Jews by the German National Socialist Party.

Maybe before making out landish statements, the President should reflect on why his officials are situationally ostracized.

Currently, Venezuela is descending toward third world status. Streets are ablaze, liberties are being stripped and citizens are starving in the streets. In fact, a recent report explained that the situation in the “socialist utopia” is so dire, that 75% of the population has lost 19lbs. simply due to the lack of food. Even professional athletes, like professional baseball player Miguel Cabrera have begun to protest the nation.

From Voactiv:

Tigers superstar Miguel Cabrera put it bluntly: “They’re fighting for food, they’re fighting for a better life, they’re fighting for everything, for medicine. . . . People are dying in Venezuela.”

The who spoke to @LaVidaBaseball incl @MiguelCabrera @alcidesescobar2 Miggy gets right to the point: 'People are dying in #Venezuela.' http://pic.twitter.com/a6JJaJFtwf

As Royals shortstop Alcides Escobar said, what they want is a “free and prospering country,” and they are willing to speak out no matter the dangers they face.

Pirates catcher Francisco Cervelli organized a 13-player video trying to raise awareness of the crisis in their home country. In that video, Cervelli says, “We’re not speaking as players but as citizens who love their country.” The other players all take turns saying that they want to stop the oppression and that they seek peace and liberty in Venezuela.

So, it appears that Maduro is correct in a likening of the time period, unfortunately for him however, his mirror paints a better picture than his conflated “reality.”

Yet, as we’ve experimented and engaged our fans, it’s clear there is a want for Spanish-only content as well.  This is the next step to be truly bilingual. We’ll continue to listen, test and evolve to satisfy our fans.”

La Vida Baseball (www.lavidabaseball.com), along with its on-air personalities, boast a collective social media following of more than one million fans. La Vida Baseball produces several social media series, highlighted by La Vida Baseball ¡Live!, the brand’s weekday interactive, fan-centric live show, hosted by Jennifer Mercedes (@Chica_Deportes). El Bullpen is a daily, short-form cultural video round-up, hosted by Julie Alexandria (@JulieAlexandria). Being Guillén, a hilarious weekly show and podcast, is hosted by former World Series Champion manager, Ozzie Guillén and two of his sons, Ozzie Guillén Jr. and Oney Guillén, and has quickly become one of the most watched shows around the culture of baseball - anywhere. Recently Ozzie Guillén Jr. launched Gaming with The Guilléns, a live, engaging Twitch experience where Guillén Jr. challenges Major Leaguers to play him in the video game “MLB The Show.” Home Plate, a newly launched video series celebrates food and lifestyle hosted by Jennifer Mercedes and Julie Alexandria.
