      REPENT and be BORN AGAIN, there is nothing in this world more important, we all sinned and deserve punishment. Messiah King Jesus (who is God) can give you eternal life, he fulfills the prophecy’s of messiah, Isaiah 55 / psalm 22 are just two of many examples. And it’s not blind faith, if you seek you will find, he can show you the truth if you are willing. John 3:3 unless a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God / Luke 13:3 unless you repent, you will all perish ⚠️❤️⚠️❤️

    I once jokingly asked my Dominican friend if they played baseball with rocks and a broomstick. He told me that they used bottle caps and I didn't believe him lol. He had to show me a picture before I could believe it.

      To be honest... I had a open field in front of my house and when there was nobody to play baseball with, I'd hit rocks on the field with a broom stick. Changing sizes of the rocks every time. So we kinds do hit rock lol

    This is a reason why us dominicans are so good at baseball. I've played against kids that have thrown this thing like 80 mph with movement. If you could hit that with a broom stick. Hitting a baseball is a little easier.

    In Venezuela the game is called chapitas, which translates to bottle caps. We also used to roll up balls with aluminum paper from our school lunches and go hard during our lunch breaks. Fun times.

  • @jorgeluis6385
    @jorgeluis6385 Před 6 lety +7

    I played this like crazy growing up in Cuba. Its so amazing watching these guys doing it. The secret to hitting the cap is not trying to make a full motion swing like ur in a home run derby, just a short straight swings mostly with your arms.

I'M SO PROUD THIS GAME WAS SET UP IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. IT DOES REALLY GIVE PEOPLE THE ABILILITIES THEY NEED TO BECOME A PROFESIONAL BASEBALL PLAYER. I DID REALLY PLAY VITILLA A LOT AND WE ALSO HAVE DIFERENT WAYS IN HOW TO PLAY BASEBALL (WE USE A SOCK TO MAKE A BALL AND PLAY)... THAT'S WHY WE ARE THE BEST IN MLB.

    I used to play something like this when I was a kid (in the US) with a broomstick and a tennis ball cut in half. We used tree lines to determine single, double, triple, HR. Anything on the ground was an out. It was in the early '60s and I was the Giants and my friend was the Dodgers.
