[PHOTO] The Virgin of Guadalupe Appears Inside the Big A!

There is the Reconquista, and then there is what's happening with our Anaheim Angels--once the paragon of suburban gabacho aspirations as exemplified by Gene Autrey and Wally Joyner, now owned by a Latino (Arte Moreno), narrated by one (Jose Mota), and recent acquirers of Albert Pujols, the Dominican who just happens to be the biggest, non-steroidal chingón in baseball since Mickey Mantle.

All of this is God-ordained and supported, and now we have proof: a sighting of the Virgin of Guadalupe, the Empress of the Americas and Mexican through-and-through, inside the Big A, to give God's blessing to the franchise!

Take that, Doyers!

There's a neo-gothic monastery to the Virgen de Guadalupe in Cáceres, Spain, where the Virgen is carved into a rock fresco, complete with spiny background. That city, btw, is off the beaten path but very very worth visiting (actually a UNESCO world heritage site, I beleive --but not to be confused with "Marques de Cáceres" which is a wine-maker from Rioja (Cáceres is in Extremadura). Used to be a Mexican (real Mexican) restaurant in Cáceres city called "La Malinche" , seriously. The owners were (are) from San Luis Potosí. Now that is la verdadera hispanidad.
