Baseball at the 1978 Central American and Caribbean Games
Baseball was contested at the 1978 Central American and Caribbean Games in Medellín, Colombia. The games were played at the Diamante Luis Alberto Villegas, part of the Atanasio Girardot Sports Complex, between July 8 and 21. It would be the last major international baseball tournament hosted by Colombia until the 2006 Central American and Caribbean Games; additionally, it is the only major baseball tournament to be played in Medellín, a region where association football has traditionally enjoyed far more popularity than baseball.
Cuba won its fourth consecutive gold medal for baseball at the Games, bringing its total to eight. The 1978 squad, which was largely the same as the squads for the 1978 Amateur World Series and 1979 Pan American Games, has been cited as the best Cuban national team selection of all time.[1]
