It’s an Oz fest: Venezuela rocking with Sox success

“CARACAS, Venezuela — It was on just about every front page and on everyone’s lips in baseball-crazy Venezuela on Monday. One paper proclaimed “National Joy,” emphasizing the collective, while another highlighted the individual, declaring “Guillen champion.”

The first Venezuelan manager in the major leagues, Guillen is also the first Latin American to take his team to the World Series. That has given baseball in Latin America and Venezuela a huge boost, showing that the region can produce not just talented players, but clever strategists as well.”
