Did you know Dominicans won the WBC? No?  Time to do little bragging.Baseball is the Dominican sport. Dominicans won the WBC (World Baseball Classic) this year. Which is pretty big because Dominicans played against all baseball teams over the world. Of course people all over the world play baseball, not to say that we own the sport, but Dominicans are passionate about baseball and very talented at it. Another impressive fact is that 20% of the MLB is of the Dominican race. My boyfriend makes fun of the Dominican culture because he says Dominicans are so talented at the sport is because they begin when they are two years old with a stick and a rock, and do nothing all day but play baseball. Which it might be rude humor but it's true. The town I am from in Dominican Republic is rich in poverty. Therefore seeing a young boy play "baseball" with a stick and a rock isn't rare.

I was my father's first born, and my father treated me as if I a boy. At  6 years old I was the only girl on the Yankees little league baseball team. As soon as I find a picture I promise I will post it up. Although my father would have preferred a son to have on a baseball team he ignored my gender completely and had me on a baseball team.. I was pretty good at it too I might add , but it just wasn't my thing , I'm more of a girly girl haha. I remember as a young girl when visiting Dominican Republic visiting a nearby baseball field with my father. It is a sport every male in Dominican Republic is dedicated to it seems. Or like no other sport exists. But i guess it pays off because in Dominicans make up a big portion of the major league baseball. I'm proud of our accomplishments!
