Although I am not a baseball fan, I recognize that it is one of the sports (and social activities in general) that occupy a very influential place in the massive Venezuelan (and Caribbean) culture. It goes beyond simple entertainment; it's almost a way of assuming life for some individuals. It has influenced popular music, language, even literature. It became an important mode of social mobility in the youth population and for families, especially in humble economic sectors.

There is such a deep-rooted baseball culture, even in the language we use to communicate. We say fourth bat to the most powerful guy, he hit it to talk about luck or success, and we even say broken bat when we're talking about people with strange behavior. Thank you for your comment, @josemalavem.
