Pelotero – Baseball in the Dominican Republic



You have some down time during the holidays and you’re already counting the days until Baseball returns? Maybe we can recommend a Baseball movie to you:

“Pelotero – A Film in Progress” is from 2007

In the Dominican Republic baseball is experiencing a golden age. From the streets to the stadiums, the youth of the Dominican Republic dream of one day emerging from the dugout onto a Big League field. From the time they can walk, kids practice with rolled up sock balls and broomsticks, waiting for the day they are old enough to sign. That day comes at the age 16 when players are given the chance to try out for professional teams. The best will sign, changing their lives forever as they try to advance through the system.
