Venezuela's election could affect baseball
by Garrett Broshuis, Broshuis's SportingBlog

December 8, 2006


On December 3, the baseball rich country of Venezuela
took to the polls. To be decided was the possible
re-election of their current president, Hugo Chavez.
Chavez, won easily as expected, gaining over 60
percent of the vote.

Most Americans by now are familiar with Chavez. A
contemptible enigma in the minds of most Americans,
his brand of ideological populism has the potential to
have far-reaching consequences. Baseball, in fact, is
one entity within his long tentacles' reach, as lately
there has been speculation that Chavez may seek to
change the rules which govern the signing of
Venezuelan players. If Venezuela were to change its
rules, there's a chance other countries would follow
suit
