For the second time this year, Wilson Contreras is celebrating a championship; However, unlike the first time, this time it is not a title that belongs to him directly.
The first baseman of the Boston Red Soxwho was monarch of World Baseball Classic with Venezuela In March, he is jubilant for his younger brother, williamwho was also part of that historic national team, and who this Wednesday helped the Milwaukee Brewers they got their first scepter in the World Series of the MLB.
The eldest Contreras, who has always made evident the great connection he has with his brother, dressed in a Brewers shirt and attended the Tropicana Field of tampa to witness the moment in which the hop organization, led by William, who took the award to the MVP of the “Fall Classic”, broke his championship drought.
After celebrating and congratulating his brother, Willson took the time to talk with the media present and in a talk with ESPN Deportes, the man from Carabobo assured that he plans, along with his teammates, to travel to Venezuela sometime during the offseason Major Leagues to celebrate the title obtained in the World Classic, something they could not do at the time due to the proximity of the best baseball campaign in the world.
But the also champion of the World Series in 2016 with the Chicago Cubs He made it clear that the trip will be exclusively to celebrate with the fans of his country and not with “other people.”
Strong and clear message
“We are going to go to share with the fans,” said Contreras, who was on vacation in Hawaii a few days ago. “Not to introduce ourselves to other people. We are not going to wash anyone’s face. We hope they understand it that way,” he added.
Although the shoveler did not specify who he was referring to, it seems easy to assume that the objective of the blunt message was the government in charge of Venezuela, headed by Delcy Rodriguez. The authorities of the regime usually invite prominent athletes from the country to the Miraflores Palace to celebrate his achievements, in what many consider to be an attempt to whitewash his image before the world.
