TheCaribbean Series (Spanish:Serie del Caribe) is an annual club tournament contested byprofessional baseball teams inLatin America. It is organized by theCaribbean Professional Baseball Confederation. The series is normally played in February, after the variouswinter leagues have ended their national tournaments.

TheDominican Republic has won the most Caribbean Series championships (23), withTigres del Licey being the most successful team in the tournament's history. The series has been won by 29 teams from seven countries. Only two teams have won the tournament two consecutive years, the most recent beingCriollos de Caguas from Puerto Rico in2017 and2018.

History

[edit]

The competition was the brainchild of Venezuelan baseball entrepreneurPablo Morales andOscar Prieto Ortiz, who devised the idea after seeing the success of theSerie Interamericana in 1946, which featured the clubsBrooklyn Bushwicks from theUnited States,Cervecería Caracas from Venezuela,Sultanes de Monterrey from Mexico, and an All-Star team composed of Cuban players.[1]

Pablo Morales andOscar Prieto founded the Caribbean Series

Inspired by the Interamerican Series and his experience as a former president of theInternational Baseball Federation, Morales joined Prieto and presented the idea to baseball representatives of Cuba, Panama, and Puerto Rico during a meeting held inHavana on August 21, 1948.[2] The representatives then agreed to stage a four-country,round-robin tournament 12-game to be known as theSerie del Caribe, to be launched in Cuba fromFebruary 20–25 of 1949.

The Series ran annually from 1949 through 1960, with Cuba winning seven times. However, the event was suspended in 1961, as a result of theCuban Revolution.Fidel Castro dissolved all professional baseball in Cuba, andMLB CommissionerFord Frick ruled that American major leaguers were barred from playing in Havana, where the 1961 series had been scheduled.[3][4]

It was not until 1970 that the Caribbean Series was revived. Moreover, the 1981 Caribbean Series was not held due to a Venezuelan League player's strike.

The tournament featured the champions of theDominican Republic,Mexico,Puerto Rico, andVenezuela for over 40 years.Cuba returned in 2014.Panama returned to host the 2019 edition.Colombia was added for the 2020 edition, replacingCuba who could not participate due tovisa issues.Curaçao was invited as a guest in 2023.[5]

Starting with the2013 Caribbean Series, a championship game was introduced where the two teams with the best win–loss record from theround-robin first stage would meet to determine the champion. In2013 the first round consisted of 12 games and each team faced the other teams twice, one as home club and the other as an away team; from2014 on, with the return of Cuban teams to the tournament, the first stage was changed to a round robin of 10 games where each team faced the other teams once.
