Baseball, as we all know it, is both a past time and a lucrative activity to keep people interested in a game in which two separate teams, compounded by nine members each, compete to win some kind of awards given by certain sponsors during intertwined games in a specific tournament named in in honor to any defunct player of the league.
The baseball mania has spread its popularity among its fans in the Dominican Republic. Nevertheless, it is an undeniable truth that in order to keep the popularity of such games some teams from the Dominican League are forced to borrow players from other leagues to reinforce their teams and stay at the top of ranking score box.
It seems an unfaithful thing, however it shows the goodwill of giving spectators the chance to wash out a rival from the competition.
Nowadays, the presence of six main brands or teams is quite noticeable. There are two teams per region: Estrellas orientales and Toros del este represent the east zone, Aguilas cibaeñas and Gigantes del cibao represent the north zone, while Leones del Escogido and Tigres del Licey represent the south. Being South the most winner of them all with more won championships between both southern teams.
Whether people believe or not, baseball has its negative side. In the Dominican Republic fans call the opposite contenders with negative and infuriating nicknames. It seems a problem to solve, but then comes a more important competition that mends things and unite the fans across the nation.
