Show your Latin American Beisbol items...Puerto Rice, Cuba, Mexico, etc

[Lordstan]

I did a search and didn't find any threads directly related to Latin American Baseball Leagues/Players/etc.
So I was inspired by Jim Stinson's 2 posts about visiting Cuba in the autograph section, and I decided to start a new thread.

So let's show what we have of that great Heritage and culture.

I'll start off with an article written by Ken Smith. He was a writer for the New York Mirror, but perhaps was best known as director of the HOF from 1964 to 1976.

Scroll down to post #28.
This is his typed copy describing the scene in Puerto Rico. It is typed on Condado Beach Hotel stationary. Was closed in 1971, but is supposed to be open as Condando Vanderbilt Hotel.

Very cool content from winter of 1954 as it mentions Mays' catch against Cleveland.
