Pena wants Dominicans to ride lively spirit in WBC defense (Yahoo Sports)

Tony Pena got a flashback this week to what it was like to be a young Dominican baseball player in the United States. Lots of natural energy and excitement - he'd never think to take those from the players on his Dominican Republic team. Managing the defending World Baseball Classic champions, Pena returned to Pirate City this week for the first time since 1986.
