Dominican Baseball Video Clip

During the winter I went to a few Dominican Winter League baseball games and I brought my video camera to one game. I edited together a short clip to let people see the "flavor" of Dominican Baseball. There is drinking, dancing, partying and cheerleaders! It is certainly a fun way to spend an evening in Santo Domingo!

I have also been to a game in San Pedro De Macoris, which is home to many Dominican players. This winter I would like to see games in some of the other stadiums across the DR. Santiago may be the next stop. It is much different than going to a game in the states. The Dominican people REALLY get into it. It can be a bit crazy but always fun.

Baeball is so much a part of the culture down there. I also shit video of some young kids playing ball, for a documentary project that had segments being shot all around the world. The conditions these kids played under were horrible. I'll edit together a clip from that footage so you can see how the young kids take their baseball very seriously.

Here are the links to the baseball clips

I hope you enjoy the clips and get a bit of the "flavor" of Dominican Baseball!
