In this episode, the Cultura a lo vivo is about Spanish speakers achieving success in the United States, specifically, Sammy Sosa of the Chicago Cubs. In fact, baseball players from the Dominican Republic have always been an important presence in the United States. Do an independent Internet search on one of the athletes listed above, or another Dominican baseball player, to answer the following questions.

Which baseball player did you choose? What team does he play for? What other teams has he played for?
What was this baseball player’s childhood like? Where did he live? What was his family like?
Where does this baseball player currently reside? Why do you think they live there? Careful! These baseball players do not necessarily live in the cities where they play.
What influence, if any, from this player’s Dominican heritage do you see in his current lifestyle?
