Yankee Stadium is set to host the first two games of an exhibition series in November featuring Tigres del Licey and Águilas Cibaeñas from the Dominican Winter League. The fierce rivals will clash in the Bronx on Friday, Nov. 8 at 6 p.m. and on Saturday, Nov. 9 at 2 p.m. Following each game, a postgame concert will entertain the crowd, as announced by the New York Yankees on Wednesday.
This upcoming series at Yankee Stadium is a continuation of the exhibition games that took place last November in New York City at Citi Field, located in Queens. The temperature during the series opener last year was 52 degrees Fahrenheit (11 degrees Celsius), significantly cooler than the weather back in Santo Domingo, which stood at 75 degrees Fahrenheit.
Tigres del Licey and Águilas Cibaeñas are the two most successful teams in the history of the Dominican Winter League. Tigres have secured 24 championships, claiming the title in the last two seasons consecutively. On the other side, Águilas Cibaeñas has 22 championships under their belt, with their most recent victory in 2021.
Fans eager to witness the action can purchase tickets starting Friday for these highly anticipated games at Yankee Stadium. This event is a great opportunity for baseball enthusiasts to enjoy the competitive spirit and traditions of the Dominican Winter League in the heart of New York City.
