The Dominican Republic team made their way to the top of the 2013 World Baseball Classic. Focused on winning, they gave it their all in every game. Their victories came from the talent of the team and their pride for the Dominican Republic.
After failing to get to the final in
either of the first two editions of the World Baseball Classic, the Dominicans
made this one their own. They won the championship by beating Puerto Rico, 3 - 0,
becoming the first team to go undefeated in the tournament.
They were able to assemble all of their
star players to compete in the tournament and go aggressively at the championship. Their starting
lineup features Robinson Cano, Hanley Ramirez, Edwin Encarnacion, Jose Reyes
and Carlos Santana and with their combination of speed, power and skills makes
them an incredible team.
Going undefeated, the team’s pride
is shown by everyone, “The first thing going through my mind, I need to put not
just my team but the whole Dominican Republic in front of me,” said Jose Reyes in
an interview with The Washington Post.
If the Dominican team treats the
Caribbean Series as they did in the World Baseball Classic, this team shows
great promise for future victories.
