    Serious question: Are people just horrible drivers in the Dominican?

    Thanks. Article stating it as fact without anything else was too shaky for me.

    If you're also referring to Taveras, note that his BAC was .28. People are pretty bad drivers here too when they've had that much to drink.

    I'm stunned. This hurts.

    Ventura was the pitcher during our trips to KC for the 2014 World Series. Even the following spring in Arizona, my son conversed with him a little bit (in Spanish) after practice. Said he was gracious and talking really, really fast for a second-year Spanish student.

    Ventura was a pitcher as immature as he was talented yet, every so often, he would put it all together and be magic up there.

    Damn.

    The paper I worked at in Jamaica had a fleet of drivers. It was mandatory to be driven to a news scene. I feared for my life every time I went on assignment. Fast and furious on the pedal is the Jamaican way.
