At that, the weapon must be easier to wield than it is to pronounce, for it is made of majagua wood, which comes from the tropical psritl tiliaceum tree. We'd like to be there the day the As play Washington, and Estalelia swings his pariti tillia-ceum limb at some puzzling pitch from Alejandro Carrasquel.
