Yes, I mentioned that. I didn't mention Cuba or Nicaragua but, yes, baseball is HUGE there. The Tigers have always had Venezuelan players since I was a boy and they still have them. And on the roster are all these Hispanic players: Cabrera, Martinez, Infante, Santiago, Peralta, Veras, Pena, Benoit, Albuquerque, Tuiasossopo, Avila.
