Hertfalcons.co.uk have received a large number of enquiries about the meaning of the video message in Spanish from Hawks slugger, Carlos Casal.  We have managed to make contact with the Venezuelan RBI Machine who took time to clarify this matter.

The expression “Pa’l carajo” is largely used in South America and CaribbeanIslands to express anger (To hell) or surprise (What the hell?) towards something or someone. The contraction (Grammar) Pa’l is a composition of “Para” = To and “El” = The, and “Carajo” can be used, in popular language, as Faraway, Hell or Splendid.Latin American baseball players use this expression when they send or are going to send the ball faraway (Long home run); or to give the opponent a very hard time in the game.
