Thank you for the video. I know this isn't directly germane to the video, but I wonder if the situation in Venezuela remains difficult? There are almost no spectators.
Yes, in a calmer political and economic environment, the fan turnout would be stronger. But also keep in mind that this league is competing with affiliated baseball leagues during the summer. It's a bizarre talent pool comprised of veterans who aren't interested in playing in the U.S. and those who simply aren't good enough/aren't eligible. Challenging to get local fans enthusiastic about that.
@@FishOnFirst Ah, that makes sense. Thank you for the information. I know Venezuela is baseball savvy, and thought it was entirely a financial consideration.
