Not sure if this has been posted, but I just watched the baseball movie "Sugar" which cronicals the efforts of a young Dominican pitcher trying to make it to the big leagues. Jose Rijo plays the guy that runs the DR training academy (just like in real life, I guess). His character's name is Alvarez. I wonder if that is a nod to Johnny?
Anyway... it's a pretty good movie (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0990413/). Not your typical feel good Hollywood interpretation of the baseball world, that's for sure. And it was fun to see Jose, cigar and all in several scenes.
