WOW, HARD TO BELIEVE COLOMBIA WINS 2022 CARIBBEAN WORLD SERIES

BY ISMAEL NUNEZ

At times, when a baseball team goes to the World Series, the team heavily favored to win ends up losing. We’ve seen this in the 1960 WORLD SERIES – NEW YORK YANKEES VS PITTSBURGH PIRATES: PIRATES WIN IT IN 7 GAMES, 1969 WORLD SERIES – BALTIMORE ORIOLES VS NEW YORK METS: METS WIN IT IN 5 GAMES. 

This past February 3, 2022 we saw this again. Columbia who’ve never won a Caribbean World Series, had to face the heavily favored Dominican Republic (DR) for the title, result: COLUMBIA WINS THE TITLE DEFEATING DOMINICAN REPUBLIC BY THE SCORE OF 4-1! Hard to believe! Three reasons:

1-DR has won the most Caribbean World Series Titles 21!

2-They won it in the hometown and stadium dedicated to Baseball Hall of Famer Juan Marichal.

3-They held the team to just one run! Wow

Three Strikes that went against the DR team:

1-Playing in their own ballpark. Could it be that the stress got to them, or if they played in the opposing team’s stadium the outcome would’ve been different?

2-Most of the players on the Dominican team roster were MLB players, maybe some of the players who play hard didn’t want to risk injury?

3-Colombian Team played better.

From seeing the game Colombia pitched well, hit well, and fielded well. Everything went in their favor. Could it be that team Dominican didn’t take team Colombia seriously? The DR team egos got to them? We’ll never know. As for Colombia! Put aside actress Sofia Velgara, musicians Carlos Lives, the Band Gropo Niche! There’s a new positive added to Colombia! IT’S TEAM COLOMBIA 2022! WINNERS OF THE CARIBBEAN WORLD SERIES 2022!
