    Hi Mack,

    The "Grand prize" in the Venezuelan Winter League Home Run Derby is just $58. $1 = 104.000Bs at this moment.

    That is disgusting. They ought to be ashamed of themselves and the players should boycott the event.

    (that again, at that level, they could probably use the money)

    The market exchange rate right now per "XE" is $1 VEF = $0.100125 USD

    At that rate $6,000,000 turns into $600,750.94

    Christopher,

    Economy and market exchange are a complicated subject in Venezuela. Average Joe only has access to the black market. If he buy dollars now (12:15pm) he will get a little more money $60.85
