Intec had (has?) a team...
It was been managed by Jorge Rolando Bauger and I used to go see them at the UNPHU field when they were playing. Actually that's how I started sort of liking football, a bunch of my girl friends and I would go to the stadium to watch the guys playing... we never learnt much about the game though.
Jorge Rolando Bauger now has a football school for kids in San Gerónimo. If you drive by on a Saturday morning you'd think the Queen of England is throwing a party, judging by the variety of expensive vehicles parked outside. I commented this to Uncle Rob who came up with a good theory-explanation: rich Dominicans (high middle class and above) look down on baseball (and most things American) while they look up to our European cousins (Spain). They would not consider letting their children play baseball, because hey! who are the Dominican baseball heroes after all? KnowwhatImean?
I tend to agree with Uncle Rob.
