OFFICIAL: Frederich Cepeda will be in Miami in November in a different way

By SwingCompleto / contacto@swingcompleto.com

The first time that the outstanding Cuban outfielder Frederich Cepeda was in the North American state of Florida was only a few months ago when he attended the pre-Olympic tournament of the Americas that was staged in the cities of West Palm Beach and Port St. Lucie.

But now the 2004 Olympic champion from Athens and the subtitle of the first World Classic will return to Florida with a cultural event that will take place in the city of Miami.

And it is already available to anyone who wants to buy it via amazon a biographical book on the figure of the spiritian. It is entitled “The will as a scoop”, and has a total of 221 pages in which its author José Ramón Crespo Jiménez makes an extremely interesting summary of the sports and personal life of this extraordinary player.

The next International Book Fair in Miami will be the stage where the official presentation of this publication will be made, thus becoming one of the few Cuban baseball players residing on the Island who have had a presence in this important space. This activity will begin on November 18 at the Wolfson Campus, located at 600 Biscayne Boulevard.

The American publisher Primigenios is the one who has carried the productive weight of the work, in a collaboration between Magape and the editorial designer Marlene García.

The book will be presented in color and black and white, in addition to its production in English and Spanish from the reach of Cepeda beyond the distinctly Cuban public.

Of the Cuban players who have transcended in the 21st century and did not reach the Major Leagues, Cepeda and Alfredo Despaigne are the ones who have achieved the most importance within the non-Cuban fans. In fact, Frederich remains the most outstanding player among all those who have participated in the World Classics thanks to his excellent offensive records in the first three editions.

The mythical number 24 has remained in the national team for almost 20 years, in addition to exceeding twenty domestic championships in which his performance has allowed him to establish himself among the elite of Cuba’s hitters and not only of his time. For many who like comparisons, Cepeda has been the best left field occupant in a hypothetical all-star position in the National Series.

Despite this, there is a group of fans who consider that this man of high ethics and professionalism should already take retirement because he does not have the same faculties of yesteryear that makes him one of the mainstays of the Cuba teams event after event; Others believe that he can still contribute at least to his Gallos de Sancti Spíritus and more now with such a decrease in the quantity and quality of the participants in the Creole contest. At the moment the reality is that Cepeda will play at least the 2022 National Series because he does not plan to hang the spikes. What is uncertain is that he can travel to South Florida to share with those who decide to buy a copy and receive the signature of this Cuban baseball legend when this Book Fair opens on November 18.
