There were no games last night, but El Caribe newspaper reports that Major League Baseball is considering holding a few exhibition games here in 2007. Major league teams have played in the DR before, to sell-out crowds in 1997 and 1999, and it comes as part of an effort by Major League baseball to expand the sport’s fan base by playing games outside the United States. MLB needs to approve renovations to Estadio Quisqueya before any games are played in the country.
