baseball culture and winter league schedules
The Valle del Cibao has its own identity distinct from the capital Santo Domingo to the south. The local baseball culture here is intense: Santiago has produced more Major League Baseball players per capita than almost anywhere in the world, and the city’s Estadio Cibao fills regularly during the Dominican winter league season. Game schedules run on a sporting calendar that the fixed timezone keeps simple.
Santo Domingo and Santo Domingo Este share the same Atlantic Standard offset across the country.
