Leones del Escogido (English: Lions of the chosen one) is a professional baseball team in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Established in 1921, the Leones are one of the best teams from the island, having won several Dominican titles and two Caribbean World Series. Their rivalry with Tigres del Licey is likened to that between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox.
[edit] History
The Leones' record book is dominated by the Alou brothers: Matty, Felipe and Jesús. The brothers hold the first, second and third spots in the team's record book for the following: games played, runs, at bats, hits, home runs and RBIs. Matty and Felipe are one-two in several more categories, including bases on balls and stolen bases.
