According to Baseball-Reference, 73 players in Major League Baseball history were born in San Pedro de Macoris. The city is often referred to as "The Cradle of Shortstops."
When immigrants were brought in as contract labor for sugar plantations from the Eastern Caribbean they brought the sport of cricket. They formed teams and played against each other. The ownership and management of many of the sugar estates was American. The cricket teams were offered money by their players plantation managers to switch sports and they did.
