1951 Caribbean Series

The III edition of the Caribbean Series ("Serie del Caribe") was played in 1951.

The format consisted of 12 games, each team facing the other teams twice, and the games were played at "Cervecería Caracas Stadium" in Caracas, Venezuela. The Puerto Rico team won the Series with a 5-1 record and was managed by George Scales. Their only defeat came from Cuba.

Other contributions came from pitchers José "Pantalones" Santiago (two complete-game wins), Rubén Gómez (two wins, one save), 1B George Crowe (.333, one grand slam, 7 RBI), and SS Stan Breard (.423, seven runs, 4 doubles, 8 RBI). Also in the Puerto Rican roster were Jim Gilliam (2B), Buster Clarkson (3B), Bob Thurman (OF) and Willard Brown (OF).

Managed by Mike González, Cuba finished in second place with a 4-2 mark. 1B Lorenzo "Chiquitín" Cabrera led the Series hitters with an astronomical .619 batting average (13-for-23), and the pitching staff was led by Adrián Zabala (2-0), Hoyt Wilhelm (1-1) and Bill Ayers (1 win, 1 save). Were also included in the roster Sandy Amorós (OF), Pedro Formental (OF), Bert Haas (3B), Spider Jorgensen (2B) , Ed Mierkowicz (OF), Jiquí Moreno (P) and Carlos Pascual (P).

Venezuela was managed by Lázaro Salazar and finished 2-4, with both victories over Panama. The team was led by 1B René González, who hit .316 (6-for-19), including two doubles, two home runs and a Series-leading 11 RBI. Other significant players in the roster included LF Johnny Davis (10 walks, six runs, SS Jim Pendleton, 1B Chucho Ramos, CF Ed Knoblauch, and pitchers José Bracho (1-1), Clem Labine (1-1) and Alex Carrasquel (0-1).

Panama ended with a 1-5 mark and was managed by Leon Kellman. The team's only victory came behind a strong pitching effort from starter Connie Johnson over the Cuban team while 1B Archie Ware (.348) guided the offense.
