President Leonel Fernandez is traveling to Santiago today to inaugurate the remodeling of the Cibao Stadium, where the 50th Anniversary Caribbean Series will begin on Saturday, 2 February. He will also attend an inauguration ceremony for the recently revamped historic center of Santiago, the second largest city in the Dominican Republic. As reported in Listin Diario, President Fernandez will also use the opportunity to formally open his re-election campaign headquarters in Santiago.
Starting this weekend and all through next week, Santiago will be the capital of baseball, with one of the most enthusiastic crowds ever to follow the game. Two teams will be representing the Dominican Republic in the championship this year, after Puerto Rico failed to hold a winter professional championship this season. Also competing are teams from Venezuela and Mexico. The Dominican teams are considered the teams to beat.
