The Bench

Nov 23, 2024 | city-journal.org | Jose Corpas

Because of the train station, the intersection of Newkirk Avenue and Marlborough Road is busier than most in Brooklyn’s Ditmas Park neighborhood. Described by real-estate agents as a “secret suburb” inside the city, Ditmas Park is a place where everyone knows your name and your car, and where the house parties end at reasonable hours. Newkirk Avenue—the southern border—disturbs the serenity. During the day, it’s a conveyor belt of impatient drivers; the street corners lack trash bins.
Corpas preocupa al Cádiz

Oct 24, 2024 | es.besoccer.com | Jose Corpas

BeSoccer hace 2 minutos | Tiempo de lectura: minutos El Eibar derrotó por la mínima al Cádiz en la jornada 11 de Segunda División con un gol de José Corpas. Con esta caída, los andaluces bajan a puestos de descenso con opciones incluso de verse aún más abajo si el Tenerife se impone al Málaga. Los 'armeros', en cambio, recargan sus cartuchos de ilusión al afincarse en los accesos al 'play off' de ascenso a Primera desde la 5ª plaza.
Un autogol con la rodilla con la inexplicable dejada de un compañero

Oct 5, 2024 | es.besoccer.com | Real Sporting |Jose Corpas

BeSoccer hace 6 minutos | Tiempo de lectura: minutos José Corpas, defensa del Eibar, protagonizó el gol tonto del fin de semana en el partido ante el Sporting de Gijón. Aunque llevó la firma del lateral derecho, mucha culpa del tanto la tuvo Álvaro Carrillo, que terminó de confundir a Fuzato con una dejada inexplicable que permitió el 1-2 a favor de los asturianos. El Sporting se impuso por 1-3 en Ipurua a un Eibar que se pegó un tiro en el pie.
Tough Tony

____________________________I did not expect him to answer the door in his underwear. He was sixty-something, and I was seventeen and lacking direction. My father had just died, and high school was about to end. Instead of thinking about college, I wanted to be a boxer, like the ones my father and I had watched on television; like the one who answered the door in his boxer shorts.
The Train From Aragua

Sep 6, 2024 | city-journal.org | Jose Corpas

“They’re coming.”That’s what Miguel, a Venezuelan migrant who came to America with his wife and two daughters, told me about the gang, Tren de Aragua, earlier this year. “And they’re very bad.”The past few days have shown how far the Venezuelan gang appears willing to go. In Aurora, Colorado, Tren de Aragua has allegedly terrorized the local community. According to Mayor Mike Coffman, at least two buildings in the city “have fallen to” a group of armed men, suspected to be gang members.
Last of Their Kind

Dec 29, 2023 | city-journal.org | Jose Corpas

The narrow three-story house, at least from outside, looks almost exactly as it did when it was built in the 1840s. It should always look the same, because the city declared the home and the three next to it as landmarks. Located only a block from where the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway rises and wraps around Brooklyn Heights, the home was owned by my grandparents for 50 years. Today, it’s the last of four remaining cottage homes known as Cottage Row on Columbia Place.
Soldiers on the Highways, Again

Dec 16, 2023 | city-journal.org | Jose Corpas

Almost every summer during the 1970s and 1980s, my mother took my siblings and me to visit her family in Guatemala. We were too young back then to understand that the heavily armed soldiers in the street and the frequent military checkpoints along the highways were there because of an ongoing civil war. While one soldier asked the driver where we were heading, the others peered into the back seats, their weapons drawn. Satisfied that we weren’t part of the Guerilla, they would wave us through.
Remembering Hector Camacho and Macho Camacho, Too

Nov 27, 2023 | nyfights.com | Jose Corpas

This past week was the anniversary of Hector “Macho” Camacho’s death. It has been eleven years since he jumped into the passenger seat of his friend’s black and white Mustang and drove to a bar in Bayamon. It was just past 7 PM and the streets were crowded when they parked in front of a lawyer’s office. Seconds after, a Jeep pulled up next to them. The local news said someone exited the Jeep and calmly walked to the side of the Mustang and fired several shots through the window.
The Case For Luis Firpo For IBHOF

Oct 16, 2023 | nyfights.com | Jose Corpas

If you have logged on to any of the social media platforms recently, you have probably noticed that the International Boxing Hall of Fame has mailed out the annual ballots. Luis Firpo is one name on the Old-Timers ballot that should be at the top of every voter’s consideration list. There were a few events which led to the popularization of boxing in Latin America. Cornish miners introduced boxing, and soccer, to Pachuca and Real del Monte in Mexico.
Fuego amigo en Ipurúa

Oct 15, 2023 | es.besoccer.com | Jose Corpas |Rubén Pulido

El Eibar y la SD Huesca han empatado a un gol esta tarde en Ipurúa, con sendos goles en propia puerta, producto de dos jugadas desafortunadas. El punto permite al Eibar alcanzar los puestos de promoción y da un poco de aire al Huesca y a su nuevo entrenador, Antonio Hidalgo, que empieza con buen pie su andadura.
