foul

One highlight of the trip for me was going to Estadio Quisqueya to watch Licey baseball. Just like at Busch stadium, I bought some consessions and headed to my seat. With a slice of pizza and two bags of popcorn in my hands, a rambunctious squirt ran into me, knocking the pizza to the ground, face down. For less thant $2, I could have bought another slice. Instead, I ate the pizza. The lesson to be learned here is that the five-second rule applies in other countries as well.

About halfway through the game, the crowd erupted into a chant, “BELLIARD! BELLIARD!” That's when good ol' Ronnie Belliard stepped up to bat. It was like a little taste of home in the Dominican.
