Estadio Fórum La Guaira
Estadio Jorge Luis García Carneiro (formerly Estadio Fórum La Guaira) is a baseball stadium located in Macuto, Vargas, Venezuela and the current home of the Tiburones de La Guaira. It has a capacity of 14,300, along with 1200 parking spaces. The stadium had long been planned as the Tiburones had been playing in Estadio Universitario de Caracas, which is not located in La Guaira, sharing games there with the Leones del Caracas. The stadium was originally going to be called Estadio Carlos "Café" Martínez after the baseball player born in La Guaira who also played for the team.

Macuto, Vargas
Macuto is a seaside city in Vargas state, Venezuela. The city has a long history of attracting Venezuelan political leaders and artists, and popular tourist site today.

Baseball Venues In Venezuela
Baseball is a bat-and-ball sport played between two teams of nine players each, taking turns batting and fielding. The game occurs over the course of several plays, with each play generally beginning when a player on the fielding team, called the pitcher, throws a ball that a player on the batting team, called the batter, tries to hit with a bat. The objective of the offensive team (batting team) is to hit the ball into the field of play, away from the other team's players, allowing its players to run the bases, having them advance counter-clockwise around four bases to score what are called " runs". The objective of the defensive team (referred to as the fielding team) is to prevent batters from becoming runners, and to prevent runners' advance around the bases. A run is scored when a runner legally advances around the bases in order and touches home plate (the place where the player started as a batter). The principal objective of the batting team is to have a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
