Photo Stories: Caribbean World Series

A young Venezuelan boy holds an autographed baseball as he watches the game while standing on top of the first base dugout. A fan waves a Venezuelan flag behind him. Although players were very accessible to fans, many Major Leaguers who had played in a professional winter league skipped the Caribbean World Series because it finished only six days before spring training started. Venezuela was most affected by this situation, replacing 15 players from the Tigres de Aragua championship team, which had included Miguel Cabrera.
