My friends Loles, Antonio and Karen ask me if I want to go to Italy with them, this summer. I say to them: "Yes, yes, yes!". They want to ask for a book or two from the art history teacher. I want to give them a very interesting photo album. My sister's boyfriend is Italian. He has a collection with two thousand four hundred and sixty-three photos of many cities and museums in his country. I'm going to ask my sister where he has it and to my parents I'm going to say: "Mom, dad, I'm going to Italy with some friends in August!" Miss Casanova is going to give them a couple of books and Angeles's boyfriend is going to lend us his wonderful album.

the dominican republic has been a major source of talent, as evident from the number and caliber of dominican players on major league baseball rosters. as a result, each mlb club has founded an academy for promising prospects in the dominican republic.

while the primary focus remains preparing these players for professional careers, the academies, often in partnership with the mlb's central office in the dominican republic, have implemented education-based programs that also prepare prospects for life after their playing careers have ended. the academies offer courses in english language, and players also participate in programs that them adjust to life as a professional ball-player. in addition, the club academies encourage players to give back through club sponsored service projects that impact their local communities.

currently all 30 clubs have academies in the dominican republic, many with state-of-the-art facilities. the academies, which often include dormitories for players and coaches, also feature playing fields, weightroom and training facilities, clubhouses, classrooms and recreational areas for participating players. below is information for all 30 academies with photographs of what many of the facilities offer. while many of the clubs have erected new academies in the last several years, almost all of the clubs have operated academy programs that date back as early as the 1980s.

hope this answers it
