Dominican Bowling Team Meets MLB Stars


COACHES, PLAYERS and national teams from all around the world come to the International Bowling Campus in Arlington, Texas, to train at the International Training and Research Center (ITRC). And sometimes they even get an unexpected


surprise. When the Dominican Republic national


bowling team visited the ITRC in July, they decided to catch a Texas Rangers baseball game at nearby Rangers Ballpark. The team was greet- ed at the ballpark by more than a half dozen of the Rangers Dominican stars including Vladimir Guerrero, Nelson Cruz, Julio Borbon, Neftali Feliz and Frank Francisco.


“It’s exciting to see Dominicans doing the sport and being able to know that they play it so well”


8 USBOWLER FALL 2010 “We are baseball fans in the Dominican


Republic,” Dominican bowler Aumi Guerra said. “It’s our thing, so it’s very exciting.” The Rangers’ players welcomed Dominican


bowlers with smiles, hugs and high fives. They also expressed admiration for the national team’s success in international competition as well as their own interest in bowling. “It’s exciting to see Dominicans doing the


sport and being able to know that they play it so well, we are happy for them,” Borbon said. “I have always enjoyed bowing, it’s really fun. It’s one of those things I do to kind of get away from baseball.” Rangers outfielder Nelson Cruz said it


was a treat to spend time with fellow Dominicans and looks forward to doing some bowling himself. Following the reception the Dominican


bowlers received another surprise when they were interviewed on live television as guests during the Fox Sports broadcast of the game.
