Dominicans Return: World Baseball and Pirate City

dominicans return: Lots of natural energy and excitement he'd never think to take those from the players on his Dominican Republic team, according to Hamilton Spectator. Managing the defending World Baseball Classic champions, Pena returned to Pirate City this week for the first time since 1986. Tony Pena got a flashback this week to what it was like to be a young Dominican baseball player in the United States. The five-time All-Star and four-time Gold Glove Award winner signed with Pittsburgh as an 18-year-old and played for the organization until he was 29. The Dominicans return a few stars from the 2013 team, which not only garnered attention for winning the tournament, but for the flash with which they did. He and the Dominicans were in Bradenton on Wednesday for a scrimmage against the Pirates, their last before travelling to Miami for their WBC opener Thursday against Canada.
