Sure. But we play too. It is out national sport, and it is not as if we are ignorant on how to hit a ball.
DR is the powerhouse of the Caribbean. That is undeniable. But we have won the Caribbean Series 8 or 9 times.
I mean, we grow up playing "chapitas" (beer cap). Your parents drink a case of beer, your get the caps from the bottles, and you learn to hit by throwing the caps at the other player, and the other player batting them. With a broom stick.

Surprised that Italy is playing. They are so much into football that I didn't even know they played ball.

A little more on why Freddie Freeman is playing for Canada. I found this within an article...
