"Puerto Rico's baseball origins stretch back nearly as far as those of any of its Caribbean rivals. The first known game on Borinquen (as the island is called by its natives) have been placed as early as 1897, the same year in which the long-time colony achieved independence from Spain." | "Puerto Rico's baseball origins stretch back nearly as far as those of any of its Caribbean rivals.
