\"Opening<\/a><\/p>\n

I took the photo I’m initially using as the banner image at the top of this website while attending the Championship Game of the 2013 World Baseball Classic<\/strong> between the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico, held on March 19 at the AT&T Park in San Francisco, California.<\/p>\n

The Dominican Republic won the game 3\u20130. \u00a1Felicidades, Dominicanas y Dominicanos!<\/p>\n

\"2013<\/a>It was quite impressive to watch during the game (and talk to) the many fans of the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico teams, many of whom traveled to the game not just from points in California, but also from New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Orlando, Miami, and even the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n

\"2013<\/a>I also had the chance to talk to several Japanese fans who had made the trip from Japan hoping that their team would win its third consecutive WBC Championship. I also saw during the game fans wearing the caps and jerseys of the Mexico, United States and Venezuela WBC teams, and, of course several jerseys and caps of the local San Francisco Giants.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, it rained so heavily during the game that I was not able to take as many photos as I had intended.<\/p>\n

I will post later on a more detailed article discussing my experiences during the game, which I was able to attend by pure chance because I was in San Francisco on a long-scheduled trip.\u00a0As an islander Puerto Rican who has followed baseball since the late 1960s, I was compelled to attend the game and root for Puerto Rico, but at the same time I was interested in observing the overall scene and, more specifically, in taking many notes for my own research and teaching on issues of race and nationalism in sports.<\/p>\n
