Very interesting question. Back in the 1960′s or 1970′s most baseballs used in the American National league were made in Haiti. You would think that many Haitians would be baseball players, playing in Major League Baseball.

That is not the case. In the meantime, on the other side of the island, the Dominican Republic, many are making a fortune playing the game.

According to history, it has everything to do with the American occupation of 1915. Unlike American invasions in other countries that were relatively brief, the Haitian occupation lasted 19 years and was brutal. The Haitians were not interested in anything that was American at the time and instead played soccer.
