Miami – The businessman and CEO of Alofoke Media Group, Santiago Matías, known as “Alofoke”, had the honor of making the pre-game launch between the Dominican Republic and the Netherlands at LoanDepot Park in Miami, as part of the 2026 World Baseball Classic.
Matías was invited to participate in the traditional first pitch, a symbolic ceremony that precedes each game. Thousands of fans gathered at the stadium to support the Dominican Republic national team.
