It was a bit abstract, but I was going with Babalu as a nickname. Maybe the Desi classic would be a good walk up song.
from wikipedia so fwiw... BabaluBabalu is the title of a Cuban song, written by Margarita Lecuona, the cousin of composers Ernestina and Ernesto Lecuona. The song title is either a reference to the Santería deity Babalu Aye or to Babalawo, the title of a Santería priest and diviner.[1]In the song's lyrics, the singer wonders aloud what to do with a statue of Babalú Ayé, now that a Santería rite had been invoked by others. He suggests that seventeen candles be lit up, in the shape of a cross, and that a cigar and aguardiente be brought to him, as to pay homage to the deity. He then requests good luck, love from his beloved woman, and safety and protection to both.The song was first published in the United States in 1939 by Peer International.[2] The first publication with an English translation (by Sydney King Russell) was in 1941.Babalu was the signature song of the fictitious television character Ricky Ricardo, played by Desi Arnaz in the television comedy series I Love Lucy, though it was already an established musical number for Arnaz in the 1940s as evidenced in the 1946 film short Desi Arnaz and His Orchestra.[3] By the time Arnaz had adopted the song, it had become a Latin American music standard, associated mainly with Cuban singer Miguelito Valdés, who recorded one of its many versions. Arnaz made the song a rather popular cultural reference in the United States.Whenever Arnaz and his band played the song live, he would finish it with an extended conga solo and chorus-refrain section, mimicking Cuban comparsas (a popular genre usually associated with the city of Santiago de Cuba). This section has been quoted by other Cuban artists, most notably by Miami Sound Machine in their live presentations. The song has also been performed by Slim Gaillard.[4]A recent Ska rendition was recorded and performed by Ska Cubano a Mambo-Ska band from Britain made up of musicians and singers from many diverse countries. __
Instead of having his name be part of it, just call him the messiah. Tommy was right. There is a big dodger in the sky. He just got sick of the team sucking and decided to play himself.
Steel Yasiel The Real Yasiel His real name is Yasiel Puig Valdés??? Puig's a weird name to us honky folk.
I wonder if he went back down if BaseballAmerica would update their ranking of Puig from 70 power to 80.
