CARACAS, Venezuela -- A year after retiring from baseball, former star Magglio Ordonez has been elected as the mayor of a city in his native Venezuela. Ordonezs victory in the city of Sotillo in eastern Venezuela was announced by President Nicolas Maduro at a rally Sunday for pro-government candidates who won the majority of 335 races nationwide. The socialist president has turned to celebrity candidates such as the six-time All-Star to overcome rising anger with his handling of the economy. Maduro prevailed in his first electoral test since narrowly winning the presidency in April following the death of Hugo Chavez. Ordonez retired in 2012 with a career .309 average over 15 seasons with the Detroit Tigers and the Chicago White Sox. The right fielders 294 homers are the second-most by a Venezuela-born player, trailing only Andres Galarragas 399.

Dumervil now has 16 sacks, one short of his career high and tied for the NFL lead with Justin Houston of Kansas City.The lofty total can be attributed to a rigorous off-season training regimen, hard work and good health.Its like the stars are aligning, but the most special thing that could happen is we get into the playoffs, Dumervil said Wednesday. The records been broken. I havent really dwelled on it too much or soaked it in. Weve still got three critical games left. More than anything, to have that record at the end of the year and make a deep run in the playoffs, thats the goal.Baltimore (8-5) hosts Jacksonville (2-11) on Sunday. The Ravens trail Cincinnati by a half-game in the AFC North and are right in the middle of the crowded wild-card hunt.Dumervil came to the Ravens as a free agent in March 2013 following a now infamous snafu by his agent, who failed to fax paperwork to the league office in timely fashion. That ended Dumervils seven-year run in Denver, where he earned three Pro Bowl invites and was an Associated Press first-team All-Pro in 2009.In his first season with Baltimore, he had 9 1/2 sacks, 31 tackles and two forced fumbles — decent enough numbers, but not up to his standards. Not only that, but the Ravens missed the playoffs for the first time in six years.After finally adjusting to a new defensive scheme, Dumervil sustained a high ankle sprain late in the 2013 season. He missed a game against Minnesota in December and had only one sack over the final seven weeks.During the off-season he put a priority on working hard enough to get in good shape without puttting undue stress on his 30-year-old body.ddddddddddddecovering better, eating better and really working smart. Those things played an intricate part in this whole process, Dumervil said.At training camp, he went up against second-year right tackle Rick Wagner on a daily basis. The duel made both of them better.He made me sharpen my talents, Dumervil said.I definitely knew this summer he was going to have an awesome year, Wagner said. Sometimes its just impossible to block him. Its good to see him beating some of the other tackles in the league instead of me all the time.Although hes only 5-foot-11, 255 pounds — considerably smaller than the typical size of a sack specialist — Dumervil uses that to his advantage.As I watch him rush the passer, I see where its a benefit to him, Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. And then hes got ridiculously long arms and a very powerful lower body. He can go underneath the block and tilt the offensive tackles balance.Said Hurst: He gets a good jump off the ball. Hes a lot smaller than most guys but he has the same amount of power as a big guy. He can get under your pads and push you back. Hes really tough to get leverage on.Dumervil chose to come to Baltimore last year primarily because the team has long been known for its defence and usually finds its way into the playoffs. He now stands alone atop a list that includes some of the teams greatest players: Boulware, Terrell Suggs, Ray Lewis, Michael McCrary and Trevor Pryce.I had the franchise record in Denver (17 in 2009) before a good friend of mine, I call him my little brother, Von Miller, broke it (in 2012), Dumervil noted. Ive been in this situation before, and this time around Im more grateful because this organization has a proud defence. To own a prestigious record like that, its huge, man. Its humbling.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap Buffalo Sabres Gear Wholesale Calgary Flames Jerseys Cheap Adidas Colorado Avalanche Jerseys Montreal Canadiens Outlet Store Wholesale New Jersey Devils Jerseys Adidas Arizona Coyotes Jerseys Cheap Adidas Boston Bruins Jerseys Cheap Adidas Carolina Hurricanes Jerseys Chicago Blackhawks Shop Free Shipping Wholesale Columbus Blue Jackets Jerseys Dallas Stars Shop Free Shipping Cheap Adidas Detroit Red Wings Jerseys Anaheim Ducks Jerseys China Wholesale Edmonton Oilers Jerseys Florida Panthers Shop Free Shipping Wholesale Los Angeles Kings Jerseys Minnesota Wild Outlet Store Cheap Adidas Nashville Predators Jerseys Cheap Adidas New York Islanders Jerseys New York Rangers Winter Classic Jerseys Cheap Adidas Ottawa Senators Jerseys Cheap Adidas Philadelphia Flyers Jerseys Wholesale Pittsburgh Penguins Jerseys Cheap Adidas San Jose Sharks Jerseys St. Louis Blues Winter Classic Jerseys Wholesale Tampa Bay Lightning Jerseys Toronto Maple Leafs Outlet Store Vancouver Canucks Outlet Store Cheap Adidas Vegas Golden Knights Jerseys Cheap Adidas Washington Capitals Jerseys Cheap Adidas Winnipeg Jets Jerseys ' ' '
