“My fans know I’m interested in baseball.” Daddy Yankee, who grew up playing baseball at Sanders, said in a statement released Tuesday. “What better way to celebrate my roots than to join the Congregations team is to continue to promote our talents outside of Puerto Rico and to inspire a new generation of local and young talent.”

The Congrejeros won the winter championship in four of the six seasons before the epidemic prevented them from playing in the 2020-21 season. The 2021-22 campaign begins on November 6th.
“I hope my fans and all baseball fans, especially Puerto Rico baseball, will consider joining us at the exciting games we are hosting this season at Hiram Pithorn, and they will also be composing music through WAPA and other media. Contact ”, said Father Yankee in the letter. “It was an exciting time for me, our league and our team as we struggled to regain our crown in the face of fantastic competition.
