In the "Better Late Than Never" category, we're proud to throw our support behind the Shankees (logo to right), the Almost All American baseball team (13 Americans, 1 Venezuelan, and 1 Nicaraguan) playing in the local baseball liga. They're kicking off the season at 14,30 hs. today at the Estadio Nacional de Beísbol against the toughest team in the liga, Ciudad Jardin, a group of semi-pro players that have played in European, Carribean and Japanese leagues. We will update tomorrow with the score as well as highlights and tales of cheating by the opposition.

No hotdogs (yet) but there are beer, burgers and sunflower seeds available in the stands.
