“Flow Jacket” Dominican Republic from the 2026 World Baseball Classic Up for Auction
The iconic “flow jacket” used by the Dominican Republic national team during the 2026 World Baseball Classic has been put up for auction by Major League Baseball (MLB). This item, which has become an emblematic symbol of the Dominican team, has generated great expectation among fans and collectors. In the first hours of the auction, the garment has reached a value of $5,510, after receiving a total of 74 bids. The jacket was authenticated for its use in the semi-final on March 15 against the United States. One of the most memorable moments was when Junior Caminero hit a home run against Nicaragua, unleashing euphoria in the stadium. Upon reaching home plate, he was greeted with the famous jacket by figures like Manny Machado, Julio Rodríguez, and Oneil Cruz. This initiative was inspired by trends in Major League Baseball, such as the celebration jacket of the Toronto Blue Jays in the 2025 postseason. The Dominican team took the idea to another level, incorporating cultural elements such as a weight decorated with bananas and a chain, highlighting national identity.More than a simple garment, the “flow jacket” represented unity, culture, and energy for the Dominican team, leaving an indelible mark on the tournament. Now, the piece seeks to continue making history off the field.“Create an environment of integration, where players have fun and don’t feel the game so rigid.”
Gregory Castro, social media manager of the team
