A 'World' Series?

Interesting piece in the Tribune on the Latin influence on baseball:
Latin America's pastime

30% of players on Opening Day 2005 were born outside the US. I particularly liked Jose Valverde's comment on life in the Dominican Republic: "You go to sleep. Then you wake up, what do you have in your hand? It's a glove." Hmm, I suspect that 30% might rise. And after tonight's game, perhaps South Africa might become a new source... :-)
