The devastating toll of Venezuela's twin earthquakes has reached one of the country's most cherished institutions: youth baseball.
The president of Criollitos de La Guaira, part of Criollitos de Venezuela, the country's largest youth baseball organization, says at least 100 children enrolled in the league were killed when the powerful magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 earthquakes struck the country's central coast last week, leaving entire communities in ruins.
