This Caribbean Immigrant Is Now A Hall Of Famer
Black Immigrant Daily News
By NAN Staff Writer
News Americas, NEW YORK, NY, Mon. July 25, 2022: A Caribbean immigrant and star baseball player has been inducted into the 2022 Baseball Hall of Fame.
David “Big Papi” Ortiz, the Dominican Republic born player, is the first career designated hitter to be selected on first ballot into the Hall of Fame when this year’s round of results was announced in January. Ortiz is now the fourth Dominican-born player to be enshrined at the Hall of Fame, joining his longtime friend Pedro Martinez, Vladimir Guerrero Sr. and Juan Marichal.
“Wow! Cooperstown!,” Ortiz began his speech to the crowd sprawled across the grounds at the Clark Sports Complex.
He thanked the baseball writers for the honor in his typically high-energy fashion, saying, “You guys got it going on.”
Delivering his remarks in both English and Spanish, Ortiz said, “This is a such incredible day. An incredible honor.”
The gathering was heavily flavored with Red Sox gear sporting Ortiz’s No. 34 and numerous flags representing the Dominican Republic.
Ortiz, who has dual citizenship, also thanked America before offering up a travel promo for his original home, saying, “To all of my American friends, consider this as an open invitation to visit my island. The Dominican Republic has a special flavor. We have a lot of good and happy people, beautiful beaches where you guys can go when you guys are freezing here.”
During his 20-season MLB career, Ortiz bashed 541 homers while finishing the top five of AL MVP balloting five straight seasons over a period ending in 2007. In 2016, he enjoyed one of the great final seasons in history, hitting 38 homers with a league-leading 127 RBIs while also pacing the circuit in doubles, slugging percentage and OPS.
When Ortiz joined Boston in 2003, the Red Sox were still laboring under the Curse of the Bambino, the label given to Boston’s title drought that began after their 1918 World Series win. The Red Sox snapped that streak in Ortiz’s second season with the club. By the time he retired, Boston had added two more championships.
In 2013, Ortiz was named MVP of the World Series win against St. Louis, going 11-for-16 at the plate with eight walks over six games.

Dolly Parton Goes Reggae
Black Immigrant Daily News
News Americas, Nashville, TN, Fri. July 22, 2022: Multi-award-winning Country Music star and Hall of Famer, Dolly Parton, and reggae? Yes indeed.
Producers Christian and Frank Berman (The Berman Brothers) and partner Ron Oehl and Positive Vibrations have reimagined Parton’s vocals on “Two Doors Down, for this project to match the new upbeat, reggae instrumentals.
The track is already receiving early praise as Whiskey Riff glowed that the “song’s reggae country fusion edition is perfect for adding to your summer playlist.”
Listen to Dolly Parton’s “Two Doors Down”
Parton’s track is part of the new ‘Country Goes Reggae’ Positive Vibrations project, an 11-track album released today by The Berman Brothers and Oehl.
It also features the vocal talents of Jimmie Allen, Randy Houser, Alexandra Kay, Toby Keith, Rascal Flatts, Landon Parker, Chase Rice, Uncle Kracker, Lainey Wilson, and Country Music Hall of Famer Alabama.
Proving their successful blend of genres and cultures, in 2006, the Berman Brothers created Rhythms Del Mundo – Cuba, which featured Coldplay, Sting, and U2, and was No. 1 on iTunes and Amazon charts in more than 20 countries with Platinum and Gold sales in countries like Germany, Italy, Mexico and more.
Then in 2013, they merged iconic American artists like Billie Holiday, Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye, and Bill Withers with the unique Bossa Nova and Samba sounds of Brazil, which also went No. 1 on multiple iTunes and Amazon charts.
The idea for Country Goes Reggae came on trip to Negril, Jamaica in 2019, when the brothers were sitting at a sunset, beach bar listening to Reggae classics as a car passed by blasting U.S. Country songs. The blend of different styles and cultures, they knew the two worlds would blend perfectly together.
Assembled by producers The Berman Brothers, the Jamaican musicians – Positive Vibrations – include Ian “Beezy” Coleman (Ziggy and Damian Marley, Wyclef, Fugees), Devon Bradshaw (Burning Spear), Guillaume “Stepper Sax” Briard, Henry Matic Tune (UB40, Aswad, Dennis Brown), and the next-gen class of players.
The just-released project also reimagines Alabama’s “Pass It On Down,” Rascal Flatts’ “I Like The Sound of That,” Toby Keith’s “Red Solo Cup,” Uncle Kracker’s “Smile,” Randy Houser’s “Boots On,” Jimmie Allen’s “Make Me Want To” and more.
Embodying the musical elements of Reggae such as the thumping bass and drums blended with staccato horn arrangements, the album’s Rock and Soul upbeat aesthetic flows throughout the record, making it the perfect summertime jam.
