In the Dominican Republic, where political corruption and poverty run rampant, baseball is a respite from economic struggle; it is also a way out to a new life in a new country. Baseball is also big business for North American Leagues. Since the '50s, recruitment of young players has been relatively cheap and easy. Producer Kathy McAnally looks at the issues with baseball veterans Stan Javier, Luis Polonia, Epy Guerrero, Joaquin Andujar and others.
