One of baseball’s most hotly contested competitions is underway, as teams from six countries play for the Caribbean Series title in the Dominican Republic.
While Major League Baseball continues to sort through its labor issues with the scheduled start of spring training just weeks away, the winter ball season is wrapping up in traditional fashion with the Latin American championship that dates to 1949.
This year’s event will be played between Jan. 28 and Feb. 3 at Santo Domingo’s Estadio Quisqueya Juan Marichal.
The Dominican representatives, Aguilas Cibaenas, won the title last year in Mazatlan, Mexico, but they will not be back to defend their crown. Gigantes del Cibao won the Dominican league (LIDOM) championship and will represent the home nation in 2022 with a powerhouse roster that includes Robinson Cano and Marcell Ozuna.
