Bat and Ball, Dad
Venezuelans are a baseball-loving people. A people of armchair managers. A people who will curse out players if they don't play well, if they drop a fly ball they should have caught, if they hit into a double play when they should have hit a home run, if they strike out with three runners on base, or if they walk three batters in a row. Venezuelans are a people who live baseball intensely, and today they can call themselves world champions.
