When it comes to baseball, there’s professional baseball and then there’s Latin professional baseball, which comes with a cultural flare, and festival atmosphere that’s rarely found anywhere else.
That unique brand of baseball is coming to Walt Disney World Resort with the debut of the Latin Baseball Festival in November. And tickets are on sale now.
The inaugural event features two marquee Puerto Rican teams – the Cangrejeros de Santurce and the Indios de Mayaguez – playing a three-game regular-season weekend series inside Champion Stadium at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, November 20-22.
Both are accomplished teams in the famed Roberto Clemente League in Puerto Rico which has produced many current and former Major League Baseball players, including Roberto Alomar, Bobby Bonilla, Edgar Martinez, Ivan Rodriguez, Juan Gonzalez, Bernie Williams, Ruben Sierra and Clemente.
More details about the games at Disney will be announced soon, but tickets are on sale now at all Ticketmaster outlets. Single-game tickets range from $17.50 for lawn seats to $30 for lower level seating. Two-game packages (Saturday and Sunday) are $45 (upper level) and $55 (lower level). Group tickets are also available ($24-$27) as well as suites ($250-$2,000).
Play ball! Or should we say, a jugar pelota!
