Baseball in the Dominican Republic. Tigres de Licey vs Estrellas for those who might know. For those who don't, baseball is huge in the DR and this league is just starting now. Soon--and even in this game--players from the Major Leagues are slowly migrating back to play and the quality of ball steadily increases from now till the end of November. While this game was well attended, by the end of the month it will be packed. And not only Dominicans play in this league, I noticed that several of the pitchers were Americans.It also had most of the trappings of an MLB game, pizza and beer vendors, a mascot in a large furry costume, cheerleaders gyrating to regeton--OK, that last part seemed like a distinctly local flourish.
