I believe the powers that be in the development of sports in Dominica, should introduce baseball in Dominica. Baseball is family to cricket. Latin American countries benefit significantly from playing baseball. It can start at the school level, then into the different district in Dominica. A baseball player in the United States makes millions. Our cricket and football fields can accommodate baseball. Dominicans living in the United States know the sport.
The sport will unable Dominican students to get in top colleges in the United states. With the emergence of the new international airport, we have to bring in new things to encourage people to travel and even make Dominica a place to live in. Baseball will be good for Dominica.
