Luis Leal, 1984 Scorebook Magazine

Luis Leal is a bit of a forgotten man in Blue Jays history, I find. The Venezuelan was a starting pitcher from 1980-1985, just as the team was coming into its own. He still ranks 9th in club history in innings pitched, and 10th in wins (51, tied with Ricky Romero). In his best season, 1982, he started 38 games, pitched 249 2/3 innings, and finished 3rd among AL pitchers with 5.1 WAR.

Impressively Dave Stieb led the league with 7.7, and Jim Clancy finished 5th with 5.0, making the 1982 Blue Jays one of only 13 teams in the integration era (1947) to have 3 pitchers with 5 or more WAR. The most recent was the 2011 Phillies of Halladay, Lee, Hamels.

Luis Lean on Magical Realism in Spanish American Literature

Magical realism is, more than anything else, an attitude toward reality that can be expressed in popular or cultured forms, in elaborate or rustic styles in closed or open structures. In magical realism the writer confronts reality and tries to untangle it, to discover what is mysterious in things, in life, in human acts. The principle thing is not the creation of imaginary beings or worlds but the discovery of the mysterious relationship between man and his circumstances. In magical realism key events have no logical or psychological explanation. The magical realist does not try to copy the surrounding reality or to wound it but to seize the mystery that breathes behind things.
