The national pastime of the Dominican Republic is dominoes and cockfighting. On Sundays, many men sit outdoors around tables and play dominoes for hours. The most popular sport is baseball. Many major league players in the US and Canada are from the Dominican Republic such as David Ortiz, Pedro Martínez, Manny Ramirez, and Albert Pujols. Boys and girls also enjoy playing volleyball. Storytelling once was the greatest pastime where both men and women can tell their stories. Now, people sit and watch tv instead of telling stories.
