1952 Caribbean Series

1952 Caribbean Series

The IV edition of the Caribbean Series ("Serie del Caribe") was played in 1952. It was held from February 20 through February 26 featuring the champions teams from Cuba (Habana), Panama (Carta Vieja), Puerto Rico (San Juan) and Venezuela (Caracas). The format consisted of 12 games, each team facing the other teams twice, and the games were played at Panama City. The first pitch was thrown by Alcibíades Arosemena, by then the President of Panama.

Cuba became the first country to win two CBWS championships with an undefeated record of 5-0. The Cuban team, managed by Mike González, won the Series behind a strong pitching effort by Tommy Fine, who posted a 2-0 record with a 1.50 ERA in two complete-games and won Most Valuable Player honors. After a 3-3 tie against Puerto Rico in the Series opener, he was called by the Cuban team as a late replacement for future Hall of Famer Hoyt Wilhelm. Fine posted the only no-hitter pitched in any Caribbean series game, to give his team a 1-0 win against Venezuela. Five days later, Fine faced Panama's club and was close to glory. He was three outs from consecutive no-hitters in the series, having allowed a single in the ninth inning to break it up. His 17 hitless streak also is the longest in series history. Outfielder Sandy Amorós led series hitters with a .450 batting average (9-for-20), including personal numbers with a .650 SLG, six runs, six RBI. Other contributions came from OF Fernando Pedroso (.400), and infielders Lou Klein (.333) and Spider Jorgensen, who hit two of the team's home runs.

The clubs from Panama and Venezuela tied for second place with a 3-3 record. Panama was managed by Al Leap and included in his roster infielders Spook Jacobs, Joe Tuminelli and Jim Cronin, and pitchers Connie Johnson and Marion Fricano. The Venezuelan club, led by José Antonio Casanova, featured players as outfielder Wilmer Fields (.360, two HR, .720 SLG, 8 RBI), shortstop Chico Carrasquel, as well as pitchers José Bracho, Johnny Hetki and Al Papai.

After a tied game with Cuba, Puerto Rico's team failed to win in their next five games. Managed by Freddie Thon, their roster included outfielders Nino Escalera and Luis Rodríguez Olmo; pitchers Red Adams, Luis Arroyo, Art Ditmar and Pantalones Santiago, and OF/P Cot Deal.
