He was describing the national pastime of the Dominican Republic,
3 baseball. In the gritty town of Boca Chica, a town on the southern coast, barefoot ball players practice with sticks and old tennis balls, dreaming of one day playing professional baseball. In a country where more than one million of the eight million people have fled poverty to live in the United States, stars like Alex Rodriguez (born to Dominican parents in the U.S) proudly proclaim they are Dominicanos. Baseball in the Caribbean goes back to 1866 when it was first introduced on the island of Cuba by American sailors. When a ten-year war brought instability to Cuba, many Cubans fled to the Dominican Republic and brought the game of baseball with them. Although, some believe that baseball as we know it today was not introduced in the Dominican until 1916 with the eight-year occupation by the United States Marines. By the 1920 s, Dominicans were traveling to Cuba, Puerto Rico and North America to play games. In 1937, a three-team league brought together some of the best players money could buy. The 1937 season was memorable because the Ciudad Trujillo Drageons would prevail and win the series, but it took a financial toll on the country. Just like some professional teams today, the Dominican teams spent too much money on talent and the league went bankrupt. Professional baseball would not return to the Dominican Republic for 14 years. Even with the absence of pro teams, amateur baseball thrived. Dominican and American sugar mill owners approved of the sport and encouraged their workers to play. During the six-month dead season, sugarcane requires less maintenance and workers who were unemployed played in amateur leagues. Competitions were set up to pit one sugar mill against another. Young baseball players were soon being recruited from all over the Caribbean and the United States. The Dominican Republic now exports its finest native sons to America: 71 players were on major-league rosters in They include Pedro Martinez, the
4 Boston pitcher and Cy Young winner; Manny Ramirez, the Cleveland slugger; and Sammy Sosa, the famous home-run hitter. The country produces more majorleaguers than any foreign nation and, per capita, far more than any U.S. state. More than 20 major league teams now have baseball-training camps for prospective players. Some critics worry because so many teenagers drop out of high school for their baseball pursuits. They say young people should worry about diplomas, not contracts. But baseball players find nothing wrong with dreaming, and those players who are lucky enough to make the team are usually young boys between the ages of 17 and 18. Once selected, they are sent to the team s camp where they are housed, fed, and coached. The average player will make about $ a month. If a prospect shows promise, he is then promoted to the minor league system in the United States with hopes of making it to the majors. Unfortunately, out of the hundreds that tryout, only a handful will ever make it to the major leagues.
