The diversity of New York City is what makes it such a special place. With many different countries, religions and backgrounds, it’s natural that sports and games born overseas make their way to our streets and avenues. Episode 1 of URBAN RECREATION dives into Vitilla, a form of baseball played with a plastic bottle cap and broomstick that started in the 70s. The stick ball game, popular in the Dominican Republic and played by many of today’s professional stars, takes over streets, alleys and ball fields across the city and provides a strong sense of home to a growing Latin community.

I remember being 7 years old in D.R and playing vitilla
+Chocolate Crunch Saludos Hermano....Very Nice....He venido trabajando duro con el concepto bajo el nombre de www.BETEYAH.com gracias por tu apoyo....!
Vitilla was one of my favorite things to play after school and the weekends in D.R.
Muy orgulloso de ver como algo que jugamos en todos los barrios de República Dominicana ahora se expone de esta manera! Muy grande República Dominicana!

This will make the baseball look like a beach ball
+DaymenNelson Yea good for hand eye coordination. Same as whiff ball but smaller.
I think it's so cool how they can come up with a game with such simple things! I wish life was more simple!!
Be greatful wit what you got man. Our bats used to be branches and our balls used to be anything from vitilla to a ball of socks with a rock in the middle to the bottle caps of bottles to even just rocks. The fact that u could go to family dollar and buy a 10 dollar ball is something that we thought was impossible.
looks like it you can hit one of those caps... you can send a text message while you hit baseballs. Looks fun!
damn watching this, it brings me back to my childhood. I'm Native American, coming from a reservation we couldnt afford a bat or ball. so we would use a broom stick and a ball of tissue wrapped in duct tape. Ghetto ingenuity.
redbull should do more vifeos like this, really liked the three
i really like this series
me habéis dejado flipando.soy de España,y mira eh crecido pensando,!rugby, no fútbol americano, cricket, no... béisbol,por cierto no se tan siquiera si se escribe así. sea como fuere. Qué grandes qué son.salud y República
I love how red bull is everywhere people come together
life is a beautiful thing :) we need more people playing outside and having fun. Word up Red bull!
Amo ese deporte, soy un buen lanzador de Vitilla me gustaría participar en un torneo.
Weird sport.. I like it!
In Venezuela we play something like that, we call it "Chapitas" and we use lot of bottle caps instead, we use a stick from a broom like a baseball bat and we play it on street not in a field or a basketball court.

+Nico _ In dr we hit anything, even doll heads.
Just got my caps. Gonna start this game in south Texas.
Where you get them from
No wonder the DR produces the best ball players in the world
Amo ese juego dejó lo que sea por jugarlo, en dominicana se juega con las tapas de cerveza también pero, con las vitillas es un juego mucho más estructurado, cuanto me gustaría verlo en unas olimpiadas 😍😍😍
Never seen this sport but it seems very cool
Its very fun.
I've. Seen them play outside Yankee stadium
I’d like to learn this💯💯
aaah orgulloso de ser Dominicano!!

Donde puedo encontrar este tipo de tapas en estados unidos, gracias de antemano!!
Me encanta mucho jugar vitilla en República Dominicana... aquí nadie me gana...
Eazy E is in da video in 4:23
YESSSSS
Where can I buy these caps
Other than the ball and bat being different, is it the same rules as baseball?
nino210 no
@@aidanoneil2352 Not. When the vitilla is hit if you catch in the air is an out. If the vitilla hits the ground and is still moving, if you catch is an out. If it hits you and you let fall it safe, so it can be a run, or you get a base, depending how you're palying it.
eh o famoso bets , aqui no brasil !!!!
Legal!
so it's similar to stickball/halfball?
Domincans represent lets goo
tell me the first guy didn't look like icejjfish tho
Someone bring This to California
I’d like to know where I can buy gear.
Broomstick
Futsal?
Our family had a game I was 3/4
En Venezuela nosotros jugamos chapita,con las chapas de las botellas de cerveza y bateamos con in palo de cepillo de barrer
En RD también jugamos con rapaz de cerveza 🤷♀️
Can you buy the caps anywhere?
You can buy them online. I just seen one add for .10 cents a pop. Also can buy packs of them online.
where can I buy these?
5 gallons water cap
vitilla es lo que el pelotero Dominicano Domina primero, por eso todos los homeruns 💪
If you can hit a chapita you can hit a vitilla. If you can hit a vitilla you can hit a baseball.
His garments say Beteyah, the vid says Vitilla. Is one the DR spelling and one the US?
samnelso it's vitilla, I believe they write beteyah so that the pronunciation translates.
samnelso its the guy's company name
RD coñoooooo
do high schools in new york city have sports or not really?
duh
Duh because they just have tons of cheap space for football and baseball fields? Yeah shut up haha
+freshprinceofbellaire do u live in NY? do you really think asking a question like "does a major city have sports?" and then denying the right answer with sarcasm really makes sense? Do you even know anything about NY sports? New York isn't just the city either, there are a lot of really great sports schools in NY, whether it is basketball, track, football, soccer, literally anything you could think of. There are baseball fields and there are football fields, and they don't have to have them so extremely close in order for us to be good at them. I mean really
+El_Oso_Gigante08 i live in a major city and yes we have sports, new york city is different becaue of the lack of space in places like manhattan and thats why i asked because i already knew that some dont have too much in the way of them the only option would be to bus kids kind of far so i was wondering and again i asked about new york city and youre telling me about how new york isnt just a city and how great new york schools are? now thats what doesnt really make sense. you worded my question to "do major cities have sports" to make it look stupid but thanks for giving the answer to the orginal one in the last line of your response
+freshprinceofbellaire just saying that NY school sports are good, but yes we do have spaces to practice football and basketball, there are more schools in the boroughs outside of Manhattan that have lots of space.
2:22 I thought he threw it in the hoop
esa tapa es gigante, en venezuela se juega con la chapa de la botella de cerveza
En RD se juega con tapas de refresco y cerveza también 😂😂😂 solo que con esas tapas de les llamo vitilla
dr gang
Бля, редбул играет в лапту)))
My eyesight wouldn’t allow me to play 😒
I’m a little bit blind too but I managed myself to make contact
3th
Esas son más fácil de batear. Nosotros jugábamos con unas que son 3 veces más finas que esas.
xavier07 aqui en dominicana tanbien se juega con la tapita pequeña de refresco
First
Would you guys donate some for me? We don't have those on Brazil.
