Dominicans lead foreign born players on opening day

Pedro Martinez joins the class of 08 MLB opening day Dominicans. This year the bunch is not as large as opening day 2007's, but it's still pretty large.

The Dominican Republic has produced the most Major League players born outside the U.S. with 88. Venezuela (52 players) and Puerto Rico (29) have the next most, followed by Japan (16), Canada (14), Mexico (11) and Cuba (8). Other countries or territories represented include Australia, Colombia, Curacao, Korea, the Netherlands, Nicaragua, Panama, Taiwan and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Also, Omar Minaya's Mets is the team with most foreign talent. They could play in Estadio Quisquella and look like the home team. 

Update: It looks like Pedro's health did not improve for opening day.
