United States Ambassador honors Licey with the first pitch
In an atmosphere filled with emotion and tradition, the United States Ambassador to the Dominican Republic, Leah Campos, was the protagonist of the ceremonial first pitch at the Quisqueya Juan Marichal Stadium. This gesture marked a special moment during the current 2026-2027 season of the Dominican Professional Baseball League.
The diplomat was received by the president of the Tigres del Licey, Miguel Guerra Armenteros, who, together with other members of the blue board of directors, shared with Campos in a meeting that reinforces the ties between the U.S. representation and the country’s most decorated sports organization.
A classic with diplomatic presence
The ambassador’s visit took place within the framework of one of the most anticipated encounters on the calendar: the matchup between the Tigres del Licey and their eternal rivals, the Leones del Escogido. The participation of figures of this level on the field underscores the importance of baseball as a fundamental pillar of culture and entertainment in the Caribbean nation.
The presence of the U.S. ambassador highlights the value of winter baseball as a phenomenon that transcends sport, connecting international authorities with the deepest passions of Dominican society.
