I love baseball and I love many of the Dominicans who play for bigs. This was really great; I had seen it in the NYTimes. Thanks for reposting here.

To buttress the "republic of baseball" description, I spoke, about development work in Puerto Plata, to several groups of interested people in Pittsburgh, PA last summer. It totally amazed me how many of those I chatted with individually mentioned the link between the DR and baseball - specifically certain players with the Pittsburgh Pirates.

In the countryside, a father tried to teach his son a proper batting stance in an image captured in 2011 and endlessly repeated across the Dominican.

In the Dominican, baseball is an ongoing narrative.

That was pretty awesome, especially the pics. It's amazing how many great MLB players come out of the DR.
