Los Gigantes

To the middle of the large island, a medium sized city the size of Miami will cover the west side of the middle part of the large island. This city will have rivers passing through every block similar to the canals of Venice.

Michael can throw as hard, maybe harder, then any other 12 year old alive. His fastballs being clocked at eighty miles-per-hour. You would think the worst was behind when his dad, brother, and he immigrated from Cuba, but I don't think anyone can predict what is in store for Michael Arroyo. They live in the Bronx and Michael is a huge Yankee fan; especially his idol, Cuban-born pitcher El Grande.
