Major League Baseball returns to legendary Hiram Bithorn Stadium
In April of 2018, the division rival Cleveland Indians and Minnesota Twins faced off in a memorable two-game series in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Still reeling from the destruction of Hurricane Maria, the two teams gave back to the community while on the island through community service, relief effort donations, and children's hospital visits. The teams split the series - each team winning one game - while Puerto Rico natives Francisco Lindor and Jose Berrios shined in front of their hometown crowd.
