    This is why Dominicans are such good baseball players

    By Anton | July 27, 2009

    Here is a fun scene we happened upon after finishing our last study one hot Saturday afternoon. We had to stop and watch of course since there was plenty of good shade under this enormous tree and the kids were more than happy to have their picture taken.

    At the beginning of the video, when the “Ump” hits the base, listen carefully as he yells “Play Ball!!!”. Then after it goes into the river, he shouts “Foul Ball!”. There are actually very few Spanish words in baseball, most of the vocabulary is borrowed since they all grew up watching the “American Past Time” on TV, in English.
