According to Leo Sepkowitz of Bleacher Report, an MLB group called Players for the Planet spent Tuesday cleaning beaches in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
The group is led by major leaguer Corey Dickerson and former major leaguer Slade Heathcott. The group aims to help communities in need by cleaning up their environment.
This particular area was brought to their attention by New York Mets‘ shortstop Amed Rosario. Rosario grew up in the area, and when he returned home, he saw the awful conditions the beaches were in. He took it upon himself to bring change in the neighborhood.
