Tourists traveling to La Romana and Bayahibe from October through the end of January 2012 should include a night out at the La Romana ballpark. Renovations are under way at the Francisco A. Micheli Stadium in the northern part of the city. The stadium will be ready for the start of the Dominican Winter Professional Baseball League season on 16 October. The remodeling includes refitting the clubhouses, a conference room for meetings, improvements to the baseball player’s locker rooms with more spacious lockers, toilets and showers, and a meals area. The playing field is being reconditioned so that the grass in the inner fields uses the same Bermuda grass as in the outer fields, a variety that adapts to local climate.
The La Romana Toros are the 2010-11 Baseball Champions. The team confirmed that Dean Treanor would be back to direct the team for the fourth consecutive year.
Treanor coaches the AAA division team, Indianapolis, of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
