Tras el quinto sorbo al Kas me dieron ganas de mear y bendita la diminuta vejiga de un niño. De camino a los lavabos, con la cremallera del inocente pantalón corto todavía abierta, apareció la imagen. Destellos de luz dorada y cantos angelicales iluminaron el pasillo y el videojuego de mi vida mostró el primer logro desbloqueado en mitad de la pantalla. Entre bidones de cerveza y una pila de listines telefónicos desfasados, surgió un póster del Oviedo de la temporada 1987-88. La del último ascenso a primera división. Ahí comenzó todo.

Para Ignacio Martínez de Pisón (Zaragoza, 1960), el Zaragoza son recuerdos de Las Gaunas de Logroño y de goles de Felipe Ocampos en La Romareda. Es el desesperado braceo de Seaman en la final de la Recopa contra el Arsenal el 10 de mayo de 1995, las propiedades terapéuticas del gol de Nayim y recitar de carrerilla, con entonación de poesía escolar, viejas alineaciones del Zaragoza de su infancia.

Entusiasta e curiosa nei confronti del mondo e della vita.

"Questa squadra" non è una semplice biografia, né tantomeno un racconto. È un'espressione verbale.

Un giorno, nell'estate del 2010, le ho detto, quasi per scherzo: "Manu, perché non raccontiamo la tua storia e quella di queste ragazze?"

All'inizio del 2018 ha suscitato molto clamore l'incredibile storia di Roberto Zanda.

Già le premesse sono folli, ma qualcosa nell'organizzazione va storto, Zanda, secondo in classifica, si perde e prima che venga soccorso passano ben quattordici ore in cui rischia la morte per ipotermia.

Documenting multiple challenges at every turn - as a target for racism from society at large and sexism both inside and outside of the Negro League - this is the unique story of the first woman to play professional baseball on a men's team, breaking barriers in sports while believing, "There's got to be a first in everything. Maybe it will be me." The text explains that as players began to leave the Negro League for major league teams, Toni Stone seized her only opportunity to play professional ball and replaced Henry Aaron on the Negro League's top team.

This is the story of Chad le Clos, Olympic gold medallist and record breaker, the swimmer with the never-say-die attitude.

Le vite di Pollastri e Girardengo ebbero corsi paralleli, e non solo a causa della comune discendenza novese. I testimoni sono concordi: Sante e Costante erano amici, e continuarono a vedersi negli anni della latitanza, si rispettavano e si tenevano informati l'un l'altro. Entrambi provenivano da quella genia tra ligure, francese e piemontese forgiata dalla fame e dal freddo. Entrambi vissero una dura storia di emancipazione dalla miseria.
