[Dennis Meyer]

I am looking for a good web site with a history of baseball in the Dominican Republic. Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Try this

Call Kevin Cabral at 809 576 9404. He is one of the most knowledgeable people in the country -that speaks English-and can certainly point you in the right direction...

Tell him that his old professor from UCMM recommended you to him....

Do you know his extension? The automated system keeps hanging up on me...

Or an email address?

I talked to him and..

Kevin told me that the only book-in Spanish- about the historyof Dominican Baseball was written back in 1968 or 69 by Mario Alvarez Dugan, and there is a copy in my university library. It is out of print.

There has been nothing, zero, nil nada published in the last 30 years!!

Sorry.

There are the archives of the various newspapers that could resurect this interesting history but it would be a costly, time consuming enterprise....
