An All Stars Game of Dominican Major League baseball players is being organized for December 12 at the Quisqueya Ball Park of Santo Domingo by the Dominican Baseball Federation, in conjunction with the Ministry of Sports and the National Baseball Commissioner’s Office. During a press conference to announce the event, Vice President Jaime David Fern?ndez said that the idea is for the event to become a year’s end tradition taking advantage that at the time Dominican Major League ball players are vacationing here. Dominican ball players would play against a roster of guest US Major League players, invited by the Dominican stars. Names mentioned are Sammy Sosa, Raul Mondes?, Neifi P?rez, Jeff Bagwell, Larry Walker, Viny Castillo, Tony Fernandez, Mois?s Alou, Stanley Javier. The players would also participate in a golf tournament at the Santo Domingo Country Club. Moneys would go to the Hemophilic Society, the Dominican Red Cross and UNICEF. In March of this year, the New York Mets played the New York Yankees in a two game pre-season training game. Vice President Fern?ndez said that President Leonel Fern?ndez himself has set as a goal that in 2000 a Major League regular scheduled game is held in Santo Domingo.
