 PUERTO RICO HERALD: Puerto Rico’s Basketball Team Wins A Trip To Athens, Expos Are Back   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Monserrate said the move was designed to bring back league rivalry as the Santurce Cangrejeros will now share Hiram Bithorn Stadium with Baerga's new team, presumably, the Senadores.
The last time Santurce shared Hiram Bithorn Stadium with a San Juan team was the 1999-2000 season, after which time owner Benjamin Rivera moved them to nearby Carolina (and a brand-new stadium), claiming (among other things) that San Juan had too few fans.
Baerga's move to San Juan is partly motivated by marketing guarantees he's received from Santurce Cangrejeros owner Julio Hazim, a Dominican businessman who bought Santurce last season and has brought four teams into his exclusive marketing circle (Caguas, Mayaguez, Santurce and now San Juan).

Liga de Beisbol Professional de Puerto Rico, as it is officially called, offers the real thing: baseball as it used to be, without background music, video replays, or commercial ads between innings.
As recently as 1990-91, I was surprised to see the Crabbers use Ivan de Jesus as a starting shortstop and Jaime Benitez as a pinch-hitter, because neither had played in the states for years.
Santurce, which is my Other Team (after the New York Yankees), whose cap I wear along with a light-blue, t-shirt emblazoned Cangrejeros, hadn't been doing too well in November 1993, even though it won the all-Caribbean tournament the previous year.
