Dominicans in baseball postseason

It looks like each team in the world series will have 3 Dominican Players. Also the ALCS MVP David Ortiz and the NLCS MVP Albert Pujols are both Dominican. It has been a very successful year for Dominican ball players. Each year there are more and more Dominicans in the major leagues, and there are a ton of dominican players in the minor leagues.

Many people in the DR are big Red Sox fans, so when the sox beat the yankees in game seven, the streets of santo domingo turned into a big party. Reports came in that 6 people were injured by stray bullets! Firing pistols into the air is a common form of celebration in some Dominican neighborhoods. Unfortunately in thsi isntance some innocent people were injured.

If the sox win the world series, I am sure the party will be evn bigger. Hopefully with less gunfire and injuries!
