President Fern?ndez yesterday signed a decree (433-97) transferring control of the professional baseball stadiums in the DR to the Sports Ministry (SEDEFIR). The decree affects Santo Domingo’s Quisqueya Stadium, Santiago’s Cibao Stadium and San Pedro de Macor?s’ Tetelo Vargas Stadium, all of which previously had been run since 1995 by a foundation headed by Dr. Leonardo Matos Berrido. Unaffected is San Francisco de Macor?s’ Juli?n Javier Stadium, which is already administered by SEDEFIR. The measure was taken to ensure better upkeep of the stadiums.
