Community Practice 2
For this community report, I read the Spanish Wikipedia article on Felix Hernandez, pitcher for the Seattle Mariners. I learned that "lanzador" means "pitcher" and "lanzar" means "to pitch". I learned that "lograr" means "to achieve", "proeza" means "feat", "viste una camiseta de manga larga": "long sleeved t-shirt", "derecha": "left". I learned that "carreras" literally means "races" but is how runs are referred to in baseball. I learned that "ponches" means "punches" but is how strikeouts are referred to. I learned that he is Venezuelan and the first Venezuelan to throw a perfect game in MLB. I was able to understand most of what I read and inferred the meaning of some of these words through context.
