Ladies, if you ever had a doubt that we men will always remain boys til the very end... And leave us alone when we act like this! This cannot be un-programmed!
REPENT and be BORN AGAIN, there is nothing in this world more important, we all sinned and deserve punishment. Messiah King Jesus (who is God) can give you eternal life, he fulfills the prophecy’s of messiah, Isaiah 55 / psalm 22 are just two of many examples. And it’s not blind faith, if you seek you will find, he can show you the truth if you are willing. John 3:3 unless a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God / Luke 13:3 unless you repent, you will all perish ⚠️❤️⚠️❤️
I once jokingly asked my Dominican friend if they played baseball with rocks and a broomstick. He told me that they used bottle caps and I didn't believe him lol. He had to show me a picture before I could believe it.
To be honest... I had a open field in front of my house and when there was nobody to play baseball with, I'd hit rocks on the field with a broom stick. Changing sizes of the rocks every time. So we kinds do hit rock lol
That's why Dominicans are so good playing baseball 'cause they got a game even more difficult than baseball. Hahahahaha and I played it a lot, it's make me remind me childhood. 🙌🙌
Me too, grew up Arroyo hondo cerca de jardin botanico. Went to carol Morgan school ave Sarasota. Always in the hood playing on the block, game always around
This is a reason why us dominicans are so good at baseball. I've played against kids that have thrown this thing like 80 mph with movement. If you could hit that with a broom stick. Hitting a baseball is a little easier.
In Venezuela the game is called chapitas, which translates to bottle caps. We also used to roll up balls with aluminum paper from our school lunches and go hard during our lunch breaks. Fun times.
I played this like crazy growing up in Cuba. Its so amazing watching these guys doing it. The secret to hitting the cap is not trying to make a full motion swing like ur in a home run derby, just a short straight swings mostly with your arms.
One of the best things I’ve watched in awhile. I think sometimes we fans get so sick of everything being about money and stats and all the nonsense. Let the kids play. ⚾️ ❤
pedro you giving away (Dominicans) our secret. hahaha vitilla use the cap of a 5 gallon water bottle which is thinner and a broom stick (thinner). next thing his gonna tell everyone to play susa to learn how to take a hit.
When I was a kid in the 90's growing up in Massachusetts, We used to play "PG Ball". all you need is a broom stick and some practice golf balls and some friends. very similar idea. lots of fun.

YOU KNOW WHAT... I AM DOMINICAN AND I AM 30 YEARS OLD. I LIVED IN DR MY FIRST 30 YEARS AND MOVED TO USA RECENTLY JUST 3 DAYS AGO AND ONE OF THE THING I'M MISSING A LOT IS PLAYING *VITILLA* IN THE STREET OF DR. WHICH IS WHERE IS PLAYED. I'M SO PROUD THIS GAME WAS SET UP IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. IT DOES REALLY GIVE PEOPLE THE ABILILITIES THEY NEED TO BECOME A PROFESIONAL BASEBALL PLAYER. I DID REALLY PLAY VITILLA A LOT AND WE ALSO HAVE DIFERENT WAYS IN HOW TO PLAY BASEBALL (WE USE A SOCK TO MAKE A BALL AND PLAY)... THAT'S WHY WE ARE THE BEST IN MLB.
everyone plays this in dr growing up . its easier to find these water bottle caps than baseballs although we still made baseballs out of rocks and socks ( 2 many baseballs got lost lol)
Just older clothing style. We didn't wear tight slacks until very recently. Check out some pictures of presidents, athletes and businessmen etc in the 90s, early 00's and you'll understand.
I used to play something like this when I was a kid (in the US) with a broomstick and a tennis ball cut in half. We used tree lines to determine single, double, triple, HR. Anything on the ground was an out. It was in the early '60s and I was the Giants and my friend was the Dodgers.
I watched kids play this on the island. It takes great hand/ eye coordination to hit, or field the bottle cap. And that skill is used in baseball. Dominicans have the game in their blood.
