COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. (AP) — Scott Rolen is an old-school baseball guy, but he’s grateful for the analytics of today’s game. They may have helped him get voted into the Hall of Fame.Rolen, making it on his sixth try, and Fred McGriff, elected unanimously by the Contemporary Baseball Era Players Committee, will be inducted Sunday into the Hall of Fame.“I learned a lot more about the process the last two years. I’m not into all the metrics and the numbers, advanced stats and stuff, but apparently, they helped me, so I love them,” Rolen joked Saturday.Rolen, a seven-time All-Star and eight-time Gold Glove winner, was selected on 297 of 389 ballots cast by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America — or 76.3%. In his first year of eligibility, Rolen received just 10.2%, the lowest first-ballot percentage of a player later elected. His Hall vote rose steadily. It wasn’t until the past year that Rolen felt he had a great shot to get in. Along with that realization came some stress.“The firs...

ANÁLISIS: ¿Por qué el auge de los partidos de ultraderecha en toda Europa?

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 04:30:55 GMT

(CNN) — Si bien la “anglosfera” se vio sacudida por un estallido de populismo en 2016, la mayoría de los países europeos demostraron ser notablemente resistentes. Las quejas de larga data en el Reino Unido y Estados Unidos impulsaron el Brexit y llevaron a Donald Trump a la Casa Blanca, pero Europa, que a veces parecía horrorizada al otro lado del Canal y el Atlántico, parecía en gran medida inmune. Bruselas se preocupó por un “efecto dominó Brexit”. En realidad, sucedió lo contrario.En los cinco años a partir de 2016, el centrismo francés hizo brotar un nuevo partido político liderado por Emmanuel Macron que sofocó al Frente Nacional. La renuncia de Angela Merkel se aprobó sin fanfarrias populistas y entregó un sucesor moderado. Mario Draghi, el tecnócrata por excelencia, se deslizó sin problemas del Banco Central Europeo al cargo de primer ministro de Italia. España incluso se fue a la izquierda.Hubo valores atípicos: Jaroslaw Kaczynski en Polonia y Viktor Orban en Hungría c...
