Resumo

Após a Guerra Cubano-Hispânico-Americano, a influência americana aumentou rapidamente em todo o Caribe.  Seu quase controle da região desencadeou um nacionalismo virulento que combinava uma mistura de antiamerimismo junto com a adoção de aspectos da cultura americana. O beisebol, por exemplo, mostrou-se irresistível em toda a região.  Os povos de Porto Rico, República Dominicana, México, Nicarágua, Venezuela e Panamá se juntaram aos cubanos em seu entusiasmo pelo esporte.  Embora os Estados Unidos nunca tenham invadido a Colômbia, o beisebol também gerou um acompanhamento em sua região caribenha, mas a paixão pelo esporte não envolveu todo o país.  O objetivo deste documento é duplo: primeiro, traçar o desenvolvimento do beisebol colombiano antes de 1960, e segundo: explicar por que os jogadores colombianos não atingiram a estatura de seus homólogos caribenhos nos séculos XX e XXI.
