West Side, New York (VIP-WIRE). “I love when El Niño Pupú comes in December; all year long I read the Signs of the Armpit; and in January Los Tres Reyes Vagos arrives”… Pacomio. Like every Wednesday, today is Post Office day. Please, if you write to me, send me your full name and the town or city where you are. Thank you.
Amenodoro Borges, from Caracas, asks: “Is it true that the National Association, 1871-1875, was played entirely without gloves and that the National League began, 1876, without gloves, which were not used until after 1885?”.
Friend Love: That’s right, it was in 1875 when St. Louis catcher and college outfielder Charles C. White wore open-fingered mitts, like those worn by cyclists today. That invention was patented 10 years later, in 1885. And it was not until the 20th century that Albert Goodwill Spalding began to manufacture gloves to play baseball. The first Major League Baseball team, with all players wearing gloves, was the New York Giants in 1905.

Nicanor Camejo, from Obregón, asks: “What was the nickname, instead of Melo, of Baldomero (Melo) Almada in Boston?”
Friend Cano: meximan.
Carlos A. Réuteman, from Valencia, asks: “Are the pensions corresponding to those who have played in the Major Leagues subject to taxes? I have asked those who broadcast baseball on IVC, Televén and Venevisión, but since I do not praise them, they do not answer me.
Friend Chalo: And why and why did you ask them first than me? Due to the income from pensions, baseball players in the United States have the same treatment as all other citizens. That is, they must pay taxes, which depend on the amount they receive, other income they have, and how and in what their capital is invested. For example, opening sources of work leads to a decrease in those taxes to be paid.
