Dominican Winter Baseball League: Gigantes lose, Fernando Abad and Victor Mercedes shine for Toros

This is a recap of a Dominican Winter League baseball game from 2009. Visit the Dominican Baseball Guy for the full post: Dominican Winter Baseball League: Gigantes lose, Fernando Abad and Victor Mercedes shine for Toros

10/17/09 Game-
The Gigantes lost their second in a row to start the season tonight. They were never in this contest and looked sloppy throughout, going down by a score of 8-0. The Toros even had an inside the park home run in the eighth inning, after an error (and lack of effort in my opinion or at least ignorance of the situation by pitcher Rhiner Cruz).

Gigantes del Cibao, la historia de el equipo

I followed the Gigantes del Cibao during the Dominican Winter Baseball League season in 2009.  This blog post was on the history of the team.  See an excerpt after the jump, or visit the Dominican Baseball Guy for the full post: historia de los Gigantes del Cibao.
_________________________________________________________________________________

...Yea I know, kind of wordy, probably because it is translated directly from the Spanish. To summarize, this will be the team's fourteenth year of existence, after being founded in 1996. Ownership has changed hands several times. The stadium is named after Julian Javier, a native of the city, who had a distiguished baseball career in the MLB, as well as a long career in the Dominican Winter Baseball League. A number of the founders and committee members throughout the founding process are still with the team in varying capacities. The current president is Laurentino Genao and several of his family members work in various capacities in the front office as well....

Dominican Winter Baseball League history

This was the first blog post ever for RK Winters.  It was for the Dominican Baseball Guy blog on the Dominican Winter Baseball League and the history of the league.

Here is an excerpt:
The Dominican Baseball Guy recently arrived in the Dominican Republic to follow the 2009-2010 Dominican Winter Baseball League (LIDOM). Covering Dominican baseball is overwhelming. There are pickup games, youth teams and leagues everywhere, training academies run by Dominicans, the majority of Major League clubs have training academies here, there is the Dominican Summer League (a rookie league run by Major League clubs), there are all the Dominicans in the big leagues, Dominican prospects and minor leaguers, and there is the Dominican Winter Baseball League.
 
The Dominican Baseball Guy will be following the Gigantes throughout this season in the Dominican Republic. They are one of six teams in the Dominican Winter Baseball League. The history of the Dominican Winter Baseball League is a long a storied one.

Please visit the Dominican Baseball Guy for the full blog post on the history of the Dominican Winter Baseball League.
