What National baseball meant and means to me.
     When I was a little kid, I do not remember having any kind of attraction about baseball. This changed when I was about eleven. I started to observe my father watching national baseball games on TV. I remember about how much he enjoyed the games. The entire neighborhood -almost at the same time- cheered when Los Tigres del Licey did a hit (most of the people in Santo Domingo city were Liceistas at that time). At first, their behavior because of a simple game seemed funny to me. I did not understand why those people felt so excited about simple games. I really started to like watching the games, specially those matches between Las Aguilas y Los Tigres. My passion lasted some years but on the heels of some other teams were emerging, my enthusiasm decreased. I guess baseball team´s owners were most interested about lucrative aspects than the feelings of the audience. Recently, I watched the baseball world series and I could not hide my emotion when the dominican team won the 9 games consecutive. I am not the best national baseball fan, but I feel very happy to see how dominican baseball players are revered worldwide because of defeating their rivals. Dominican baseball players are among the best!!!!!!!!
