Dominican Republic – Baseball, Our Great Passion Here, the Game Is Dominican Republic – Baseball, Our Great Passion Here, the game is simply called “ball.” From the grandmother in the rural farming village to the world-famous professional player on television to the fisherman on the North Coast to the schoolchildren in the Colonial City, everyone in the Dominican Republic (DR) shares in the national passion and pride of baseball. “Ball” truly transcends social status, gender and age. History Opinions differ on the date baseball began in the Dominican Republic. There are versions that say it was introduced into the country by the Cuban brothers Ignacio and Ubaldo Alomá in September 1886, at San Pedro de Macorís. Others say that it began between the years 1894 and 1896, through Cuban citizens residing in the country and that the first teams were Ozama and Cauto. There is yet another version which indicates the date as Sept. 25, 1886 when some Cuban sailors gave a demonstration of the game on a plot of land near the port in the city of San Pedro de Macorís and who then left behind the bats and balls used when they departed. There is also an opinion that differs from the preceding theories: that baseball was introduced by Americans when they installed the first beer factory in Santo Domingo, but the year is not specified. Regardless of which version might be the truest, what is clear is that the sport definitely took off starting in 1916, due to the first American intervention in the country. After several games played between Dominicans and the American Marines, Dominicans began to show pride in being great, competitive players. Amateur baseball began to develop during the 1940s through the tournaments held in honor of the dictator Rafael L. Trujillo. Also important to baseball’s development was the construction of the first baseball stadium in 1946 next to the Escuela Normal (Normal School) of Santo Domingo, with a capacity of 4,000 fans. Organized and professional Dominican baseball started in 1955 with the creation of the Professional Baseball League of the Dominican Republic (LIDOM) and its incorporation with U.S. Major League Baseball (MLB). The Dominican league's first president was Dr. Hipólito Herrera Billini. The following year was when baseball was first played at night, in the new Quisqueya Stadium, now named after pitching great Juan Marichal. If your visit the DR during baseball season (mid-October to end of January) and would like to attend a baseball game, go to the Dominican Baseball League Internet site www.lidom.com, or visit any Dominican team's websites for all the necessary information, such as game schedules, stadiums, ticket prices, etc. If you visit the DR during baseball season – October - January Ten Fun Facts 1. The first broadcast of a Dominican baseball game took place on October 21, 1917, in La Vega, and it was carried out by telephone. 2. In 1928, the first baseball game between Licey and Escogido was broadcast by radio station HIJK. 3. In 1936, the Cincinnati Reds were the first MLB team to visit the Dominican Republic, as part of its tour through the region. 4. The first national baseball tournament was organized that same year with the Licey, Escogido, Estrellas Orientales and Sandino teams. The Sandino team subsequently changed its name to Águilas Cibaeñas. 5. The Dominican Republic made its debut in an amateur world series in 1941. 6. A little over 50 years after the first Dominican player debuted in Major League Baseball (MLB) in the United States, the country has produced more than 500 professional players, making it the biggest producer of MLB players outside of the United States. 7. Many players have raised the Dominican flag high in MLB. More than 65 players have been selected as MLB All-Stars, including Manny Ramírez, Juan Marichal, Vladimir Guerrero, Albert Pujols, David Ortiz, Pedro Martínez, Sammy Sosa, Alfonso Soriano, Miguel Tejada and Tony Fernandez. 8. Four players from the country have won MLB MVP honors: Sammy Sosa (National League, 1998), Miguel Tejada (American League, 2002), Vladimir Guerrero (American League, 2004), Albert Pujols (National League, 2005, 2008, 2009). 9. The Dominican Republic's professional winter baseball tournament is held between the months of October and January. The regular season ends - in late December and then there is an elimination or “round-robin” series for the entire month of January. The season concludes in the Final Series, which designates the championship team that will represent our country in the annual Caribbean Series. 10. The Caribbean Series is a competitive event between Cuba, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Venezuela. Teams from Dominican Republic have won 19 times, more than any other country. Puerto Rico ranks second with 14 wins. Tigres de Licey (from Dominican Republic) has won 10 times, the most of any team. Dominican Professional Baseball League Six professional teams currently participate in the Dominican Republic Professional Baseball League, often referred to as LIDOM, its Spanish-language acronym (Liga de Béisbol Profesional de la República Dominicana). This is the highest-level professional baseball league in the country. • Tigres del Licey (Licey Tigers) o Founded in 1907 o Santo Domingo o Estadio Quisqueya (16,500 capacity) o www.licey.com • Estrellas Orientales (Eastern Stars) o Founded in 1910 o San Pedro de Macorís o Estadio Tetelo Vargas (8,000 capacity) o www.estrellasorientales.com.do • Leones del Escogido (Escogido Lions) o Founded in 1921 o Santo Domingo o Estadio Quisqueya (16,500 capacity) o www.escogido.com • Águilas Cibaeñas (Cibao Eagles) o Founded in 1936 o Santiago o Estadio Cibao (18,077 capacity) o www.aguilas.com.do • Toros del Este (Eastern Bulls) o Founded in 1983 o La Romana o Estadio Francisco Micheli (8,838 capacity) o www.lostorosdeleste.com • Gigantes del Cibao (Cibao Giants) o Founded 1996 o San Francisco de Macorís o Estadio Julián Javier (12,000 capacity) o www.gigantessfm.com Dominican Republic Professional Baseball League Championship History 1922 Leones del Escogido 1924 Tigres del Licey 1929 Tigres del Licey 1936 Estrellas Orientales 1937 Dragones Ciudad Trujillo 1951 Tigres del Licey 1952 Águilas Cibaeñas 1953 Tigres del Licey 1954 Estrellas Orientales 1955-56 Leones del Escogido 1956-57 Leones del Escogido 1957-58 Leones del Escogido 1958-59 Tigres del Licey 1959-60 Leones del Escogido 1960-61 Leones del Escogido 1961-62 Season not finished 1962-63 No season 1963-64 Tigres del Licey 1964-65 Águilas Cibaeñas 1965-66 No season 1966-67 Águilas Cibaeñas 1967-68 Estrellas Orientales 1968-69 Leones del Escogido 1969-70 Tigres del Licey 1970-71 Tigres del Licey 1971-72 Águilas Cibaeñas 1972-73 Tigres del Licey 1973-74 Tigres del Licey 1974-75 Águilas Cibaeñas 1975-76 Águilas Cibaeñas 1976-77 Tigres del Licey 1977-78 Águilas Cibaeñas 1978-79 Águilas Cibaeñas 1979-80 Tigres del Licey 1980-81 Leones del Escogido 1981-82 Leones del Escogido 1982-83 Tigres del Licey 1983-84 Tigres del Licey 1984-85 Tigres del Licey 1985-86 Águilas Cibaeñas 1986-87 Águilas Cibaeñas 1987-88 Leones del Escogido 1988-89 Leones del Escogido 1989-90 Leones del Escogido 1990-91 Tigres del Licey 1991-92 Leones del Escogido 1992-93 Águilas Cibaeñas 1993-94 Tigres del Licey 1994-95 Azucareros del Este 1995-96 Águilas Cibaeñas 1996-97 Águilas Cibaeñas 1997-98 Águilas Cibaeñas 1998-99 Tigres del Licey 1999-2000 Águilas Cibaeñas 2000-01 Águilas Cibaeñas 2001-02 Tigres del Licey 2002-03 Águilas Cibaeñas 2003-04 Tigres del Licey 2004-05 Águilas Cibaeñas 2005-06 Tigres del Licey 2006-07 Águilas Cibaeñas 2007-08 Águilas Cibaeñas 2008-09 Tigres del Licey 2009-10 Leones del Escogido 2010-11 Toros del Este 2011-12 Leones del Escogido 2012-13 Leones del Escogido 2013-14 Tigres del Licey 2014-15 Gigantes del Cibao News releases, images and the press kit also can be accessed from the official DR Ministry of Tourism website: www.GoDominicanRepublic.com.

  • The Astros' Sign-Stealing Scandal
    The Astros’ Sign-Stealing Scandal Major League Baseball (MLB) fosters an extremely competitive environment. Tens of millions of dollars in salary (and endorsements) can hang in the balance, depending on whether a player performs well or poorly. Likewise, hundreds of millions of dollars of value are at stake for the owners as teams vie for World Series glory. Plus, fans, players and owners just want their team to win. And everyone hates to lose! It is no surprise, then, that the history of big-time baseball is dotted with cheating scandals ranging from the Black Sox scandal of 1919 (“Say it ain’t so, Joe!”), to Gaylord Perry’s spitter, to the corked bats of Albert Belle and Sammy Sosa, to the widespread use of performance enhancing drugs (PEDs) in the 1990s and early 2000s. Now, the Houston Astros have joined this inglorious list. Catchers signal to pitchers which type of pitch to throw, typically by holding down a certain number of fingers on their non-gloved hand between their legs as they crouch behind the plate. It is typically not as simple as just one finger for a fastball and two for a curve, but not a lot more complicated than that. In September 2016, an Astros intern named Derek Vigoa gave a PowerPoint presentation to general manager Jeff Luhnow that featured an Excel-based application that was programmed with an algorithm. The algorithm was designed to (and could) decode the pitching signs that opposing teams’ catchers flashed to their pitchers. The Astros called it “Codebreaker.” One Astros employee referred to the sign- stealing system that evolved as the “dark arts.”1 MLB rules allowed a runner standing on second base to steal signs and relay them to the batter, but the MLB rules strictly forbade using electronic means to decipher signs.

    BOLETÍN 15 ROUND ROBIN BATALLANDO Los Leones del Escogido (5-9) buscarán mantener vivas sus esperanzas de avanzar a la gran final de la LIDOM cuando se enfrenten esta tarde a las Águilas Cibaeñas (6-8) en el estadio Quisqueya Juan Marichal. Con solo cuatro fechas para concluir el Round Robin 2019-2020, los melenudos tratarán de empatar con las cuyayas en la tercera posición, deseando que eso se combine con una derrota de los Tigres del Licey (7-7) en La Romana para así colocarse a solo uno de la segunda plaza clasificatoria a la gran final. Para la ocasión los escarlatas dependerán del zurdo Enny Romero (0-2, 5.40), cuya apertura de hoy será su cuarta en el Todos Contra Todos. A sus rivales de hoy solo les ha lanzado una vez en el presente torneo y fue cuando hizo su debut de campaña el pasado 1 de diciembre. De su lado, los visitantes contarán con Marcos Diplán, quien tirará por tercera ocasión contra el Escogido en esta etapa. El derecho ha sido utilizado mayormente como relevista, aunque recientemente ha realizado la función de “Opener”.

  • Boletín 03 Round Robin
    BOLETÍN 03 ROUND ROBIN Alexander, a cortar la mala racha Los Leones del Escogido (0-2) buscarán salir del mal momento con Tyler Alexander (2-3, 2.68) en la lomita, en el enfrentamiento de esta tarde contra los Toros del Este (2-0) en el parque Quisqueya Juan Marichal. Alexander enfrentó tres veces a los taurinos en la temporada regular, registrando récord de 1-0, efectividad de 1.72 con 16 ponches en 15.2 episodios. Dos de esas salidas fueron en el parque capitalino, donde el zurdo apenas concedió una anotación en 12 capítulos. Además del buen desempeño de Alexander, los melenudos urgen mejorar su bateo situacional, algo que fue un dolor de cabeza durante la serie regular y que ha continuado en este inicio del Round Robin. Con corredores en posición anotadora, el Escogido apenas batea de 12-2 (.167). El también zurdo Raúl Valdés (4-4, 3.05) lanzará por el equipo romanense, en su cuarta presentación del torneo contra el equipo rojo de la capital.

He concluded that, “What is actu- ally being invaded here is America and its hold on its theoretical na- tional pastime. We’re not sure exactly when this happened—possi- bly while you were busy watching a Yankees-Red Sox game—but this isn’t just America’s sport anymore. It is Latin America’s sport.” While it may not have gone that far yet, the presence of Latino players in baseball, especially in Major League Baseball, has grown enormously. In 1990, the Racial and Gender Report Card recorded that 13 percent of MLB players were Latino. In the 2009 MLB Racial and Gender Report Card, 27 percent of the players were La- tino. The all-time high was 29.4 percent in 2006. Teams from South America, Mexico, and the Caribbean enter the World Baseball Classic with superstar MLB players on their ros- ters. Stark wrote, “The term, ‘baseball game,’ won’t be adequate to describe it. These games will be practically a cultural symposium— where we provide the greatest Latino players of our time a monstrous stage to demonstrate what baseball means to them, versus what baseball now means to us.” American youth have an array of sports to play besides base- ball, including soccer, basketball, football, and hockey.
