Last Friday I took my cousins from Germany to the Aguilas-Estrellas baseball game in Santiago. It was a cool little excursion, from Puerto Plata its about 1hr drive to the stadium, which is easy to find (make a right on feb. 27th, the first major intersection coming into Santiago, then make a left after Colinas mall). A friend of ours got us good seats for RD$600 per person near 3rd base. The stadium kept getting fuller and fuller and by the 3rd or 4th inning it was almost filled to capacity, my guess about 15,000 people were there. The atmosphere was light and happy, they sell beer (cans) and liquor (bottles only, which they fill into plastic bottles). The liquor girls were attractive and would occasionally do a dance in the seat aisles. They even had cheerleaders and other inbetween innings entertainment. Manny Ramirez and other US Major Leaguers were playing. It was well worth the trip, even for my cousins who didn't understand the rules, enjoyed it a lot.
