Jose Reyes is seeking U.S. citizenship. Also, this is pretty cool:

"Reyes isn't abandoning his native country by any means. He's even sponsoring an entire youth baseball league back home - treating the players to everything, from uniforms to equipment.

"'I've got like six or seven teams,' he said. 'I just tried to give everything they needed. I did that for the first year this year. It's gone great so far. It's great to see the young guys in the Dominican, people who don't have a lot of money to buy equipment, that I'm able to help them out. I paid for everything. They don't have to worry about anything. They just have to worry about playing baseball and being there on the field on time.'"

Nice

It always impressed me that he took it upon himself to teach himself English when he got here from DR. He already speaks better than a lot of Latin players who have been stateside far longer than he.
