REPENT and be BORN AGAIN, there is nothing in this world more important, we all sinned and deserve punishment. Messiah King Jesus (who is God) can give you eternal life, he fulfills the prophecy’s of messiah, Isaiah 55 / psalm 22 are just two of many examples. And it’s not blind faith, if you seek you will find, he can show you the truth if you are willing. John 3:3 unless a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God / Luke 13:3 unless you repent, you will all perish ⚠️❤️⚠️❤️

A real pedro fan knows about the underwater johnson

[@chrisdiggidy405]

One of the best things I’ve watched in awhile. I think sometimes we fans get so sick of everything being about money and stats and all the nonsense. Let the kids play. ⚾️ ❤

[@hanullee8166]

Look how excited these guys are, especially Reynolds. You can see they just love the game whether its played with proper equipments or a broomstick.

[@switchpitcher]

Fantastic comment

[@zacharyjones7948]

I once jokingly asked my Dominican friend if they played baseball with rocks and a broomstick. He told me that they used bottle caps and I didn't believe him lol. He had to show me a picture before I could believe it.

[@IamChrispy]

To be honest... I had a open field in front of my house and when there was nobody to play baseball with, I'd hit rocks on the field with a broom stick. Changing sizes of the rocks every time. So we kinds do hit rock lol

[@Parker_P]

[@JensenParkour]

Abraham Cabrera OMG LOL

[@sandysamuel2658]

That's why Dominicans are so good playing baseball 'cause they got a game even more difficult than baseball. Hahahahaha and I played it a lot, it's make me remind me childhood. 🙌🙌

[@jefftheblockofcheese707]

Me and my friends play bottle cap baseball too I can throw a pretty nice sinker

[@erictirado147]

Me too, grew up Arroyo hondo cerca de jardin botanico. Went to carol Morgan school ave Sarasota. Always in the hood playing on the block, game always around

@@onlineghost9813 of course, I also lived in Arroyo hondo but as sheltered as I was I still played all over the city

Pedros honestly just a giant pitching genius kid.. hes got so many good moments on this channel and this segment

[@gloriaquezada6097]

I love pedro

[@LeXanderJAM]

Never have I seen such a fantastic human being. We love you, Pedro! DR is with you.

[@maxheadroom1207]

This is a reason why us dominicans are so good at baseball. I've played against kids that have thrown this thing like 80 mph with movement. If you could hit that with a broom stick. Hitting a baseball is a little easier.

[@ttrr5593]

Thats correct

[@rancidcrawfish]

You're the only dominican I've ever seen named Brian 🤔

[@Kvelez05]

A game that been in DR since the 70s and this brings me a lot of memories and laugh😂 and tears 😭 plying this as kid in DR was the real deal.

[@jorgeluis6385]

I played this like crazy growing up in Cuba. Its so amazing watching these guys doing it. The secret to hitting the cap is not trying to make a full motion swing like ur in a home run derby, just a short straight swings mostly with your arms.

[@santiagoarroyave9018]

every time i see pedro...I click the video. :v

[@wbdrugstrat]

In Venezuela the game is called chapitas, which translates to bottle caps. We also used to roll up balls with aluminum paper from our school lunches and go hard during our lunch breaks. Fun times.

[@switchpitcher]

2:05 love how pedro casually throws an unhittable strike at the knees while saying "we can make this do whatever we want"

[@shortgameplays4612]

I love how excited these guys are to play again. Amazing.

[@dissectingathletics5404]

[@CircusofPython]

Things like this just make me smile. Love seeing people just having fun

[@angelciprian9485]

Gracias muchachos!! Les escribe un antiguo campeón de Vitilla. Saludos desde la República Dominicana!!

[@DarthLetalis]

When I was a kid in the 90's growing up in Massachusetts, We used to play "PG Ball". all you need is a broom stick and some practice golf balls and some friends. very similar idea. lots of fun.

[@kidcudi908]

“Let me throw you a cookie” 😂

[@davidterrero1276]

I still remember my childhood. I love the vitilla

[@thadyoung5226]

Pedro is so awesome

[@iRDominicana]

YOU KNOW WHAT... I AM DOMINICAN AND I AM 30 YEARS OLD. I LIVED IN DR MY FIRST 30 YEARS AND MOVED TO USA RECENTLY JUST 3 DAYS AGO AND ONE OF THE THING I'M MISSING A LOT IS PLAYING *VITILLA* IN THE STREET OF DR. WHICH IS WHERE IS PLAYED. I'M SO PROUD THIS GAME WAS SET UP IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. IT DOES REALLY GIVE PEOPLE THE ABILILITIES THEY NEED TO BECOME A PROFESIONAL BASEBALL PLAYER. I DID REALLY PLAY VITILLA A LOT AND WE ALSO HAVE DIFERENT WAYS IN HOW TO PLAY BASEBALL (WE USE A SOCK TO MAKE A BALL AND PLAY)... THAT'S WHY WE ARE THE BEST IN MLB.

[@nypdcd11]

vitilla one of my favorite game as a kid!!!

[@lisaa8795]

This video made me smile the whole time.

[@BickBoomin]

“I’m gonna give you a cookie” I love this so much

[@Wolverine8091]

I was addicted to play vitilla when I was teenager in DR

[@glorifyfit]

this brings so much joy to my heart...

[@igraham125]

Pedro threw a breaking ball with a cap! One of the greats

[@juanperez-fy8fm]

I grew up playing this game and trust me, it was serious.

[@jamesmarshall4364]

That slider Pedro threw Smoltz was dastardly!

[@cigarlepapi9184]

I used to play this everyday, throwing it WAY harder than this lol

[@josea.dominguez5928]

I replayed this idk how many times lol

[@mikew8552]

I used to play something like this when I was a kid (in the US) with a broomstick and a tennis ball cut in half. We used tree lines to determine single, double, triple, HR. Anything on the ground was an out. It was in the early '60s and I was the Giants and my friend was the Dodgers.

[@samuelpena1999]

I am glad that Pedro talks to them and shows them what the vitilla game is that we here in the DR always play that game in all the neighborhoods

[@jul_luth5211]

“Dassa Ding Dong.”

[@jcdejesu]

everyone plays this in dr growing up . its easier to find these water bottle caps than baseballs although we still made baseballs out of rocks and socks ( 2 many baseballs got lost lol)

Just older clothing style. We didn't wear tight slacks until very recently. Check out some pictures of presidents, athletes and businessmen etc in the 90s, early 00's and you'll understand.

Looks like fun. I just admire Pedro.

[@JamesBond-uz2dm]

I watched kids play this on the island. It takes great hand/ eye coordination to hit, or field the bottle cap. And that skill is used in baseball. Dominicans have the game in their blood.

[@MrFlex-se1mr]

My brother and I used to play this with Gatorade bottle caps.

[@tuckpoint0]

“For decades, and for years”

[@baileysmith4744]

imagine if Pedro played 30 games a season on tropicana field and had to bat. he might of hit as many bombs as Bumgarner has

Pedro will always be my faviorate

looks like a fun game but i couldnt imagine trying to actually hit one of those

Here in Dominican Republic they used to practice hitting Corn Seeds which is even harder
