The president of Argentine baseball is a guest in Piacenza

The presence of the President of the Argentine Baseball Federation Roberto Braccini did not go unnoticed last Sunday at De Benedetti. The number one of the white and light blue beat and run remained in our country for a few days to accompany his son Luca who made his debut against Brescia in the Piacenza shirt. The Argentine U18 international’s desire to get involved in Italian baseball met with the full availability of his father who on Sunday, in addition to his son’s debut in game 2, attended both matches between Piacenza and Brescia with interest. Roberto Baccini was welcomed into the club headquarters by the red and white vice-president Danilo Minoia and the occasion served to reiterate the profound bond between Piacenza and the Argentine beisbol. Luca Braccini is only the latest South American to wear the red and white. Mariano Boccardo and Pablo Leone preceded him about fifteen years ago, with the latter leading Braccini as coach at the South American U18 Championship last December. In the last two championships then Mauro Schiavoni up to Ezequiel Cufrè, the winning pitcher on Sunday in game 1 against Brescia. Luca Braccini’s debut was encouraging, even if it did not coincide with the team’s success, and certainly, in the coming days, the nineteen-year-old Argentine international will not fail to be useful to the red and white cause, naturally under careful observation from overseas , from the passionate dad.
