Limited Edition MLB Montreal Expos Hiram Bithorn Stadium Postcard

Description: HIRAM BITHORN STADIUMHiram Bithorn Stadium, located in San Juan, Puerto Rico, is one of the most significant baseball venues in the Caribbean. Opened in 1962, the stadium was named after Hiram Bithorn, the first Puerto Rican to play in Major League Baseball. With a seating capacity of approximately 18,000, the stadium has hosted a variety of professional and international baseball events, showcasing the island's deep passion for the sport.The stadium is most famously associated with the Montreal Expos, who played 22 home games there during the 2003 and 2004 MLB seasons as part of a unique arrangement designed to broaden their fan base and generate revenue. During this period, the Expos featured notable players like Vladimir Guerrero, who became one of the game's most electrifying stars, and Orlando Cabrera, a steady presence at shortstop. While the Expos’ experiment in Puerto Rico ultimately ended with the team’s relocation to Washington, D.C., as the Nationals in 2005, the games at Hiram Bithorn brought major league action to the island and thrilled local fans.In addition to the Expos, Hiram Bithorn Stadium has been the home of teams in the Puerto Rican Professional Baseball League (LBPRC), including the San Juan Senators and Santurce Crabbers (Cangrejeros). The stadium has also hosted the Caribbean Series, an annual championship of winter league teams from across Latin America, further cementing its role as a hub for high-level baseball.Hiram Bithorn Stadium has been a frequent site for international competitions, including World Baseball Classic games, where Puerto Rican fans passionately support their national team. The venue's combination of rich history, a vibrant atmosphere, and its role in promoting baseball both locally and internationally makes it a treasured landmark in Puerto Rico's sports culture.Unused 4" x 6" continental size chrome postcard published by Gustavo Ramirez.
