    I live in NYC metrpolitan area and a thought occured to me. Why are there so many Dominicans here? Do you think that because baseball is slipping in popularity due to Soccer perhaps, that the powers that be are allowing immigrants who like baseball come to the states to bolster the game. What do you think?

    Are the helicopters visible right now? They're reading this aren't they? You'd better be careful. :)

    There are so many Dominicans here because life in the Dominican Republic sucks. My ex-sister-in-law is Dominican and her whole family told me so.

    Same thing's happening in Finland. After all, they let me, an American, in. And, yes, I answered baseball on the immigration form.

    Well, a bunch of Americans are playing on the Greek Olympic baseball team, so maybe we're letting them go because Greeks suck at baseball. We might be onto something here between the Greeks and the Dominicans :rolleyes:

    Well, since you brought it out into the open... yes, it's true!
    It was a grand plan devised by the Dominicans;"let's excel at baseball, and the US government(sympathetic to their national pastime) would accept us with less paper work and with open arms.
    AND THEN, when many of us made it to the US, suddenly we would all switch to our passion; SOCCER".


    Well, SoccerApe, now you blew it. No thanks to you, the US government will now become aware of this devious plan!

    Moderators, quickly; delete this thread before it falls into the wrong hands!!

    Now I know why the Russians are starting up baseball teams...they've seen the trend and are hoping to infiltrate.

    Damned Commies.
