Red Sox and Rays ballplayers participated in MLB's PlayBall event in Dominican Republic during spring
The Boston Red Sox and the Tampa Bay Rays were scheduled to play a two-game exhibition series as a part of the inaugural MLB Dominican Republic Series on Mar. 9–10.
The Red Sox triumphed in both games, 4-0 and 7-6. But the highlight of the series was both team's ballplayers actively participating in the events organized by MLB Network's Play Ball for all the young Dominican kids.
Bryan Bello and Pablo Reyes of the Red Sox and Randy Arozarena, Jose Siri and Ronny Simon of the Rays were some players who took part in a fun-filled weekend playing alongside the DR kids in a local game of stickball.
The players imparted some wisdom into the minds of the young kids while also enjoying and playing with them in a Play Ball event.
