¿Que pasó con Bob Abreu? | La historia del Comedulce de Venezuela

Klack, Captains! Today we're talking about the great Venezuelan sweetheart, the legendary Bob or Bobby Abreu. When you read or hear the name Bob Kelly Abreu, "El Comedulce," you might think of an elegant swing, whether in Venezuela or in the major leagues. And that's quite logical. For a long time, the former outfielder was one of the Venezuelan faces in the big leagues. Without a doubt, a legend. When Bob Kelly signed as a professional, his father, Nelson Abreu, told him that from that moment on, he had the responsibility to work to be among the best. "El Comedulce" was his father, who died shortly after Bobby signed. To honor him, he took the same name. Abreu was born in Turmero, Aragua state, and was discovered by the esteemed talent scout Andrés Reiner. He was a prospect for the Caracas Lions and the Houston Astros, a promising prospect due to his skills and potential, but for some experts, Roger Cedeño and Roberto Petagine "looked better." I don't know if he ever heard those predictions, but the truth is that his career proved otherwise.
