TSwift25 Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Mr. and Mrs. Carlos Delgado, With the Florida Marlins Baseball Club having offered you a contract, we the fans felt it necessary and appropriate to share with you our excitement about you potentially becoming the left-handed power hitter we so desperately need, and having you come to play baseball in South Florida! We feel confident saying that you are the missing piece for bringing South Florida its third World Series title in the last nine years! The Hispanic community would embrace you and provide enthusiastic support as they have other baseball players like Ivan ?Pudge? Rodriguez, Alex Fernandez, Miguel Cabrera, and Mike Lowell. South Florida, you will find, is a cosmopolitan, scenic, beautiful, and pleasant place in which to live and work. We hope you are as excited to join our community and play for a contending team as we are enthusiastic to have you join our favorite baseball team! We look forward to seeing you in black and teal on opening day, and the World Series in October! Respectfully Signed, The Fans of The Florida Marlins Baseball Club Se?or y Se?ora Delgado, Cuando la noticia de que nuestro equipo, los Marlins de la Florida, le hab?an ofrecido un lujoso contrato sali? a la luz, nosotros los fan?ticos sentimos la necesidad (y el deseo) de compartir con Usted el entusiasmo que nos trae la idea de que Usted se convierta en el jonronero zurdo y cuarto bate que desesperadamente necesitamos y queremos tanto. Con mucho orgullo podemos decir que Usted es la pieza crucial del rompecabezas que nos falta para traerle al sur de la Florida su tercer trofeo en la Serie Mundial en nueve a?os de existencia de la franquicia. La comunidad Hispana lo espera con brazos abiertos y promete su apoyo, de la misma manera en que hemos apoyado a jugadores como su compatriota Ivan Rodriguez, Alex Fernandez, Miguel Cabrera, y Mike Lowell. El sur de la Florida es un area bella y pintoresca para trabajar, jugar b?isbol y establecer una residencia que le permita vivir junto a su familia y en cerca proximidad a su pa?s por muchos a?os. Esperamos que tambi?n comparta nuestro entusiasmo por ser parte ?ntegra de nuestra comunidad y de nuestro equipo. Nos parece ?sta una oportunidad como pocas para jugar con un equipo que asegura ser competitivo por muchos a?os. Esperamos verlo vistiendose en nuestro uniforme en el d?a en que comienza la temporada y, de m?s hast? decir, en Octubre participando en la Serie Mundial! Firmada respetuosamente, Los Fan?ticos del equipo de los Marlins de la Florida. Los Fanaticos del equipo los Marlins de la Florida Let's make Carlos feel the love! :thumbup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiRi Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 It sure would be nice to have Mr. Delgado as a Marlin. Not only would it help the Marlins but it would also be good for the Hispanic community in South Florida. :thumbup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prinmemito Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 OK, here is my version in Spanish. Let me know if this flies better. BTW, spanish happens to be my "maternal language" or first language. So, no "enthusmo" here Se?or y Se?ora Delgado: Cuando la noticia de que nuestro equipo, los Marlins de la Florida, le hab?an ofrecido un lujoso contrato sali? a la luz, nosotros los fan?ticos sentimos la necesidad (y el deseo) de compartir con Usted el entusiasmo que nos trae la idea de que Usted se convierta en el jonronero zurdo y cuarto bate que desesperadamente necesitamos y queremos tanto.

Madman81 Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 I sign the English version, and whichever of the Spanish version that translates correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreshFish Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 please remove the word "lujuso", it means luxurious or lucrative. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Moneyball Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Please come to the Fish we don't wanna finish behind the Mets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miami15 Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 OK, it seems the letter is ready. Could everyone please delete the spanish debate stuff and we'll go along with the signing phase now. Also, I've got some feelers out with Delgado's e-mail, but if anyone has any other ideas where to send this, please feel free to share. Thanks! 653266[/snapback] I'm sure someone could find his agents website and/or phone number. Which seems to be the only other option. Also, we should make a revised version to Samson telling him we as a fan base would, for lack of a better word, be in "extasy" if the signing were to occur. Just a thought... 653378[/snapback] I've never seen ecstasy spelled like that. But you know what? I like it. :thumbup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
