In the Dominican Republic the three most popular sport categories are baseball, basketball and volleyball (in that order). Our national basketball and volleyball teams are the ones that look the most representative of all three. There's only needs to be a couple of pred. european players in our basketball team to make it fully representative but overall it looks akay. It's obvious that all phenotypes aren't going resumed in a single team.
In our baseball, blacks and dark mulattoes are overrepresented though and it's because most baseball players come from the poorest segment of our blackest provinces. Obviously balanced mulattoes, tercerons and even quadroons are present but proportionally speaking they aren't well represented. Pred. european Dominicans are even less common in that sport, especially now. Back in the day it was easier to find off whites in our baseball. I'm not sure why. In our national olympic delegation pred. SSA Doms. are overrepresented as well well but you can find a couple of white Dominicans in certain sports like tennis, polo, etc.
