Minister of Sports Cesar Cedeño announced that the Puerto Plata Dolphins would play in the next winter professional baseball league tournament scheduled to start in October 2001. He announced the government was looking into the remodeling of the Jose Briceño Stadium where the games would take place. He spoke during the government council held in Puerto Plata. The Dolphins team franchise was approved several years ago, but their playing had been objected by the professional ball league on grounds that Puerto Plata has a higher than average probability of rain during the winter months.
