Dear Eduardo:
I tell you the other day I was in the supermarket "Carrefour", where it was the court of San Lorenzo. I went with Joseph Sanfilippo, the hero of my childhood, it was San Lorenzo striker four straight seasons. We walked through the aisles, surrounded by pots, strings of sausages and cheeses. Suddenly, as we approach the boxes, Sanfilippo opens his arms and says, "To think that here is the key to sobrepique to Rome in that game against Boca." Crosses in front of a fat woman dragging a cart full of cans, steaks and vegetables, said: "It was the fastest goal of history. "
Concentrate, as if waiting for a corner, tells me: "I told the five, which debuted; not start the game well, he sent me a pitch to the area. Do not heat than I will not make you look bad. I was older and the boy, Capdevila was called, was frightened, he thought, to see if I fail. " And right there Sanfilippo 
or shows me the stack of mayonnaise jars and shouts: "Here the set!". People look at us, embarrassed. "The ball I dropped behind the center, I ran over but I was a bit up there, where the rice, you see! "I said the bottom shelf, and runs like a rabbit shot despite the blue suit and polished shoes -" I left her itching and Plum! ". Throw a left hook. We all turned to look into the case, which was the bow for thirty-odd years, and all we feel that the ball gets up, just where are the batteries for radio and razor blades. Sanfilippo raises his arms to celebrate. Customers and cashiers are broken hands from clapping so much. I almost start to mourn. El Nene Sanfilippo again had that goal in 1962, nothing more than for me to see it.
