It is life. It's pretty much what soccer is to other Latin American nations.

When people come to the states, they bring it with them and you grow up around it (at least in my case) so it's a passion that never dies out. Going to the park? Make sure it's a park with a baseball field.
Beach? Make sure there's a park within walking distance that has a field.
Having a BBQ in an open field? Better have a bat, a ball and a glove somewhere.
My dad always keeps baseball equipment in the trunk of his SUV, just in case :pachaha:

We watch baseball all year round (Dominican Winter League) even though the image quality is :scust: cause we get the Dominican channels. All, and I mean ALL of my male cousins were in Little League/youth teams. Pretty much if you're a boy in my family, you're gonna play baseball as soon as you can hold a bat and walk :yeshrug: I remember every Saturday and sometimes Sunday going to "the play" (local baseball field) with my father to watch the older guys from the neighborhood play. Music, liquor, food. Baseball is an event in our culture

Bruh I remember for most my life my old man didn't allow me to have any dreams besides being in the major league, which was my dream too. I was a really good catcher and a slugger, but eventually I just went to the streets and started slanging and baseball became second. Old man probably still has bitter feelings towards that. Ironically he buys weed from me :comeon:

Come play softball with me in the BX on Sundays, or go to Randall's island on Saturdays. It ain't no joke, bros. :whew:

Btw, soccer is on the way in the Dominican Rep. in the next decade. There's starting to be some funding behind it. We're already almost there in basketball, too.

So @flea @September @Raul , Baseball is to Dominicans like what Basketball is to us brothas? :ehh:

Colin Cowherd came right as you brehs this week
Colin Cowherd is a fukking moron.

But going with his logic, I wish someone would tell him that Chess originated in the Middle East, just to see him lose his shyt and try to argue that Chess is not a complex game.
