"Baseball" and "social conscience".

Kevin Baxter of the Miami Herald writes about Rafael Perez who used to oversee the operations of MLB clubs in the Dominican Republic. Perez now works for the Mets.

Perez was instrumental in getting MLB teams to provide better food, training facilities, and getting additional education for the players, many of whom have not even finished elementary school.
