Because Anguilla is in the Caribbean, where quite a bit of Spanish is spoken (as it is along the U.S. border), some of the Cable TV broadcasts are Spanish broadcasts with English voice-over. This makes for a slightly offbeat baseball opener, but one can learn. Did you know that the Spanish word for “Pitcher” is “El Lanzadore”? Quite a fine word. And the Spanish for “Bullpen”? That is “El Bullpen”. You can’t win them all. This week, Readers, we shall relax from the heavy lifting and report some weird names from our always-growing collection. Next week, deep moral thinking is scheduled. We can’t do the deep stuff this week because the Staff is laughing at the hats the ladies are wearing at the Royal Wedding ceremony.
