Desde la Butaca del Dr. Tomas Alonso Rios Lopez “CON LOS OJOS AL CIELO”
 Beisbol Mexicano - Este próximo 15 de septiembre se cumplirán 30 años del debut del mejor pitcher Mexicano en las Grandes Ligas de todos los tiempos. Por lo cual humildemente le hacemos este pequeño reconocimiento.
El 1 de noviembre de 1960 en una comunidad indígena de Navojoa, Sonora, México, nació Fernando Valenzuela Anguamea quien más tarde seria conocido como “El Gordo de Etchohuaquila”. La carrera de Fernando fue meteórica, firmado para jugar profesional muy jovencito, a los 17 años debutó con los Tuzos de Guanajuato de la Liga Central, recién cumplidos los 18 lanzó con los Mayos de Navojoa de la Liga Mexicana del Pacífico, para 1979 llegó a la Liga Mexicana de Béisbol con los Leones de Yucatán. Sus números de 10-12 , 2.49 ERA y 141 ponches llamaron la atención, varios equipos se disputaron sus servicios pero el 6 de julio del ‘79 el cubano Mike Brito lo firmó por 120,000 dólares para lanzar con los Dodgers de Los Ángeles.
Sin hacer mucho ruido el 15 de septiembre de 1980 Valenzuela debutó en Grandes Ligas, tiró 2 innings contra Atlanta, recibió 2 carreras inmerecidas. Al final en función de relevo en 10 apariciones tuvo 2-0, un salvamento y en 17.2 innings no toleró carrera limpia para un impresionante 0.00 en ERA.

 World Cup taking us to new Multiplatform Plateau? The history and growth of electronic media has been marked by some key events, when explosions of audience interest took new media to new plateaus. Arguably the John F. Kennedy assassination and the first moon landing were landmark events in television coverage that went far beyond U.S. audiences. CNN's compelling coverage of the first Gulf War put cable news on the map and was the first stake (of many) into the hearts of the print newsweeklies.
According to Nielsen, a record 106.5 million people watched the New Orleans Saints beat the Indianapolis Colts in this year's Super Bowl. That's the biggest audience for a televised event in the U.S. ever, beating the finale of "M*A*S*H," which averaged almost 106 million viewers when it ran in 1983. Certainly the television landscape has changed since 1983, when there were 83.3 million television homes in the U.S. (now there are about 115 million) and the biggest change is the proliferation of screens on which to connect to big events.

 The average American TV audience for the first three games played by Team USA are up 68% in 2010 compared to the same point during the 2006 World Cup, according to an analysis released by The Nielsen Company.
An average of 11.1 million viewers caught the English and Spanish language broadcasts for each of USA’s three Group C matchups in this year’s World Cup. In 2006, USA’s three group stage games averaged 6.6 million viewers.
“These ratings demonstrate the remarkable increase of interest in U.S. soccer over the last four years,” said Stephen Master, VP of sports at Nielsen. “The numbers are even more impressive when you consider that two of these games were played on weekday mornings, when many viewers are at work. Although more people than ever chose to watch live streaming video of the games from their computers and mobile devices, TV viewing climbed even higher.”
