History
In 1977, Isla de la Juventud (then called Isla de los Pinos) received the opportunity to have an independent baseball team. Before 1976, Isla de la Juventud was part of La Habana Province and therefore did not have a baseball club.
From their inception in 1977 until the mid-1990s, Isla de la Juventud was a perennial cellar-dweller in the National Series. However, since the 1998–99 season, when they took Industriales to a seventh game in the western final, they have been a playoff contender every year.
The Isla de la Juventud team has a rich history of success in Cuban baseball, with a dedicated fan base and a strong tradition of developing talented players. The team is known for its competitive spirit, skilled players, and passionate fans who fill the stadium to cheer on their beloved team.
The Isla de la Juventud team is a powerhouse in Cuban baseball, consistently competing for championships and showcasing the talent and skill of Cuban baseball players. With a history of success and a bright future ahead, the Isla de la Juventud team is a force to be reckoned with in the world of baseball.
