Sports Minister Felipe Jay Payano made the announcement saying that he had spoken personally with members of the famed team during the Hall of Fame induction ceremony for Cesarin Geronimo. Geronimo was inducted into the Cincinnati Hall of Fame on Saturday. Payano confirmed that Johnny Bench, George Foster, Ken Griffey Sr., Tany Perez, David Concepcion, GaryNola and Joe Morgan have accepted the invitation. The group said it would be an honor to visit the country, commenting that it would be a great excuse to play golf at the famous course in Cap Cana.
