History is History
Oche,
I think that I may be a bit older than you but still younger than Mr. Hillbilly. I can respectfully tell you that HB is the most knowledgeable person regarding organized fútbol's development in the DR of anyone I know, as he had a big role in it. His other point is also quite relevant. Mr. Bauger's contribution to Dominican soccer is pretty obvious and important, but it also is a two-way street for him since he makes a living out of it too (TV, academy, etc.). Nothing wrong with that. However, the people HB mentions were true pioneers, sponsoring our beloved global sport among Dominicans of all levels and preceding Bauger in time.
They also did it truly for the love of sport and never went into it expecting material rewards. That, to me also, is a significant distinction when looking for who has been more influential.
