Scoreboard Gourmet

Obama Lifting Cuba Travel Restriction

How cool is that? No more flying to Toronto or Cancun to get to Havana. I mean, now we can go to Cuba. I realize this is not a Scoreboard Gourmet issue, but it's exciting. Here's a link to a page about el beisbol cubano, in the spirit of the occasion and This Week's New York City Ballparks Home Openers.

Sugar: the baseball movie

maybe we can go see Sugar in case of rainout. too bad it's fiction.

el primer gas de pais - pepsi y beisbol

As you know, I watched a Dominican Winter League game the other day. One of the best ads in the outfield read: el primer gas de pais - pepsi y beisbol. You all know I despise pepsi but this is to good to ignore.
There also seems to be some sort of pepsi promotion going on. I have to look into that.
Here's the pepsimundo link.

Now I have to ask: is pepsi really the numero uno soda in the Republica Dominicana? no coke? why?

Los Toros del Este Love Brahma Light

The other day TFMJ and I watched (on tv) a Dominican Winter Baseball League game between Los Toros del Este (aka Azucareros del Este) and the Gigantes del Cibao.

The Toros have a great pitcher, #16. I could not figure out his name but suspect we will see more of him. Anyone know who he is?

Anyway, throughout the game and the extra innings Brahma Light was mentioned about seven million times. I think the announcers were sick of talking so they just kept reading the ads (la primera light). Between half innings the same Brahma Light commercial was shown.The commercial - beach party - says Brahma Light esta nitida. What does that mean? It's clear?

side note: Albert Pujols and José Reyes were Gigantes.
