For any lover of baseball to play in Major League Baseball (MLB) is all a dream. To date, the best league in the world was a dream for anyone with a Spanish passport. And we say so far because Alejandro Sanchez, a Valencian only 17, is about to realize the dream of many. Recently signed a contract with the Atlanta Braves for seven years with the team that if everything goes the way envisaged, will become the first European to play in America. Alexander was born to be a baseball player. "His first steps took place at a baseball field," says Paqui Martinez, his mother, former softball player and current president of the Valencian Federation of Baseball and Softball. His father, Gilberto Sanchez, born in Panama and decided to cross the pond to make a living in our country as baseball coach. Gilberto and Paqui were the first coaches Alex, "a very clever boy who takes everything at first," they say. Alexander has played in the CB Torch in the Valencian team that plays in the shortstop position and stressed that both team and individual. He has always played a class above what was due him (as a juvenile child, child cadet when I was extremely stressed ...), but despite this difference. That aspect soon opened the doors of the selection ... and a unique opportunity. "Alejandro is the stereotype of the great champions.'s A good hitter, has a good arm and excellent game vision. He can read the plays well and anticipate what could happen." This definition gives Alex Nestor Perez, director of the scouts (scouts) in Europe for the Atlanta Braves. Nestor, a Colombian living in Tenerife, was once the national coach and the head of 'The Red' he met Alexander. "Being the kid I took the cadet still European Championship in Holland youth and there I wondered your game," said Nestor, who later called him to the campus that the Braves do in Tenerife every year and where American history was forged. "When Nestor had told me the following for 10 years and now wanted to go play the U.S., I could not believe it. It is a dream for me!" Exclaims Alex, who did not hesitate to link to one of the most prestigious clubs in the MLB. Although it is normal for the Yankees to sign with an outsider for one or two seasons, Alexander's professional contract is extended to seven years. His mentors have it clear: "He was born with a star." A boy of outstanding As discussed his parents, Alexander is a guy who has applied to an excellent school. The seven outstanding course and three notable past and speaks for itself. Gilberto and Alex consigueron Paqui not be incorporated into the discipline of the Braves until May 1 because "wants to finish his high school education not to close any doors in the future." Although it has gone through various stages, trying to be a dentist, fisioterapueta or physical education teacher, Alex intends to study marine biology with a specialty if you can make it compatible with baseball. "There is a disco boy, he prefers to stay at home watching sports on television documentary," says his mother. "I also like going out with friends ... and the girls," he boasts. What is clear is that from 1 May next life will turn around 180 degrees. This will be the date on which Alexander take a flight to Orlando, where he will officially Braves T-shirt. I expected a season ahead (in the U.S. baseball league are played from April to November) confined in DisneyWorld, where she will live with the other rookies and work days of double sessions. "It will have to gain weight and muscle, but the qualities of Alexander are a great baseball player," said Nestor, who despite having seen many promises of the game promises a splendid future in the U.S. Alexander. As it is still a minor, his first year as a rookie will have to play in the league in the Gulf, where the rookies have to prove their qualities. It might even make his debut with the first team in MLB, but it is normal to continue to pursue steps. "I ask myself just go step by step," says Alexander, who may be able even to play against his idol José Reyes, player of the New York Mets: "I like it because it is the exception in place, mine. Perhaps you known at the 'Spring Training' (conference where professionals compete for games against rookies). I will approach him and ask him advice, "he jokes. He knows the road ahead is rough and steep, which will be very lucky to get to the end and triunfrar, but for now is doing something no Spanish had accomplished: "I am aware that I am opening the doors to a world where so far only had Latinos and Americans. " Now we must point out also the name of Alejandro Sanchez. A pioneer family The case of Alejandro Sanchez is not alone gives talk in the family. The first of this, Noelia Flores, will depart on 20 February due to Caserta, a town of 80,000 inhabitants in the region of Campania, southern Italy, notable for its softball team. Noelia will thus become the first Spanish who play professionally outside our borders. "It is the first time that has tried to sign Caserta Noelia", tells her aunt Paqui Martinez. But the first time I have convinced to sign for this team made from book. The Caserta has a billionaire owner who has constructed a team that aspires to everything. He wants to win the League at all costs and for that matter have not been in their ranks with only a local player, reinforcing the team with the best from each house. Of Spanish has chosen Noelia Flores, a 'pitcher' of 26 years, a member of CB Torch and fixed one of the Spanish selection, with which in 2007 became champion of Europe in Zagreb. That is where the scouts from Italian side fell on her. Noelia has signed a one year with option to extend the relationship if both parties agree. The club puts the house, car, phone and a professional contract to play in one of the strongest leagues in Europe. The rest, she will. Though he knows he has more pressure than when he played in Valencia, Noelia not want to miss the opportunity to meet one of his dreams. --
