Bartolo Colón, the Cleveland Indians star pitcher, could possibly pitch several games during the Dominican Winter Professional Baseball Season. The Dominican baseball championship starts 27 October. Colón said he would like to pitch for the Aguilas Cibaeñas, but needs to get a permission from the Cleveland Indians to do so. If he gets their okay, he will pitch as of December. The Dominican championship starts in late October and ends in early February. The winning team goes on to play the best teams from Puerto Rico, Venezuela and Mexico. Colón ended the regular season in the Major Leagues as the second best pitcher in the American League with a record of 18-5. He was only bested by fellow Dominican Pedro Martínez (23-4) of the Boston Red Sox.
