In turn, after 2:00 pm there will be recreational and commercial activities in the vicinity of the “Latinoamericano” stadium. Precisely, in the “Coloso del Cerro”, in the hours of the night will arrive the peak moment of the designated day, referred the reporter from the capital.
The prominence of the baseball night will be in charge of the Industriales and Granma teams, the latter the current Cuban baseball champion.

History records that the first game of the National Series happened on January 14, 1961, between the ninths of Azucareros and Orientales, with a 6 × 0 victory for the first. In the match, Jorge Santín scored the victory. In that first season four groups participated (Western, Eastern, Eastern and Havana).
Likewise, long before that tournament for “amateur” players began, first-rate baseball was played in Cuba, reaching a professional league.
Meanwhile, it is necessary to remember that the first official match took place on December 27, 1874, in the historic Palmar de Junco stadium. Meanwhile, on December 29, 1878, the first Professional Baseball League was inaugurated, which was attended by three casts.
