Dan Rather Reports on Dominican Baseball

This is an older story that the Dominican Baseball Guy just came across.  Dan Rather has a new show on HDNet, and he covered Dominican baseball in one episode last year.  It is a weekly show that covers one topic each episode and delves deeply into whatever topic is under discussion.

Rather presented "Field of Broken Dreams" on 10/19/2010.  In the episode he investigates everything about Dominican baseball, from steroids to bonus money to age fraud and visa fraud.  It is an hour long show with a number of interviews and he does a fair job in addresses a number of issues in the short time frame.  The show includes interviews and archival footage, as well as commentary.  It is a good watch if anything for the video footage of Dominican baseball.  See another review of the episode here.
