What do kids in Dominican Republic use for baseball equipment?

August 11th, 2010 · 9 Comments · Punta Cana Vacation Packages

Since I’m from the Dominican Republic some kids can’t afford any baseball equipment so I heard they get milk cartons and shape them into baseball mitts. Any other things they do? It’s for a project so the help is needed.
How can a horses @$$ be used as a base?

    milk cartoons and banana leaves as gloves
    lemons and oranges as balls
    brooms as bats
    cow’s or horse’s shit as bases…

    During they’re youth age they use the same gloves, bats and balls we use, only they keep them for a longer time and use them for a longer time, due to their poor finances.

    For street baseball they use whatever they can for bases, balls, bats and gloves. (You might be right on the Milk carton glove)

    Bats: Sticks, brooms, stick like things
    Bases: Garbage lids, rocks, holes, manholes.

    From what I have heard all the major league ballplayers who are from the Dominican Republic have agreed to tithe back 1% of their annual gross income to youth baseball programs in the Dominican Republic.
    Were I you I would send them all a handwritten thank-you letter saying how you appreciate their generosity

    They use brooms as bats, milk cartons as gloves or balls some times, and just anything thats round to hit for a baseball.

    For bases, they use many things such as trees, stumps, twigs, leaves, or anything you can find in the woods.

    You said it, anything they can to improvise.
