Happy # 86 to Leo "Chico" Cardenas
Leonardo Lazaro (Alfonso) Cardenas was born in Matanzas on this day in 1938.
He made it to the majors in 1960 where he got the nickname of “Chico” and “Mr. Automatic” because he was so good at playing shortstop.
Cardenas was a 5-time All Star. He played 9 years with the Cincinnati Reds and 3 with the Minnesota Twins. He replaced fellow Cuban Zoilo Versalles as the shortstop for the Twins.
Overall, he hit .257 over 16 seasons. Along the way, he hit 20 HR & 81 RBI's in 1966 and 18 HR & 75 RBI's in 1970. Back then, those were huge power numbers for a shortstop.
Cardenas played in the 1961 World Series with the Reds and in the 1969 & 1970 ALCS with the Twins. He is best remembered as the man who made everything look easy at shortstop.

Happy # 88 Pope Francis
We wish Pope Francis a very happy birthday. He was born in 1936 on this day in Argentina
A couple of days ago, I wrote an article following the "Person of the Year" recognition.
I love Pope Francis' "down to earth" approach. It's very refreshing.
Happy birthday!

A pre-Castro Cuban Navidad
Getting ready for 'Navidad" is one of my favorite Cuban traditions, in part because my mother's kitchen had a wonderful smell all month!
Again, have a good Noche Buena! Feliz Navidad to all of you!

1903: Orville and Wilbur Wright
It must have been a very exciting 12 seconds for the Wright brothers. Orville piloted the craft and the brothers flew 120 feet. And we've been flying ever since!
