Santiago de los Caballeros.– For the first time since the Dominican Republic began participating in the Caribbean Series in 1970, the country will field two teams in the annual round-robin tournament.
The teams, Licey and Aguilas, are the two most popular Winter League teams in the country. The rosters read like a who's who of Caribbean Major and Minor League stars.
Astros shortstop Miguel Tejada will lead the top-seeded Aguilas Cibaeñas from Santiago, while Angels infielder Erick Aybar and Cubs outfielder Felix Pie lead a host of talent on the Tigres squad in the 50th anniversary of the tournament.
