Maikel García, Dairon Blanco, and other Royals star in winter leagues

Winter is not a time of year that Americans associate with baseball. Most of the country is hunkered down, watching football or basketball and waiting for the snow to melt and the weather to warm up so we can all get outside again. I’m doing the same. As I type this the temperature outside is in the single digits Fahrenheit — though my alternative sport of choice is cricket rather than the aforementioned gridiron or hoops.

Outside the United States, however, the games continue. Baseball has been in full swing for the past few months in the Caribbean.
