The scrapbook contains facsimiles of photographs, newspaper articles, box scores, statistics, and the All-Star team of the second Caribbean World Series. The president of "The League South of the border" presented it to Frank J. Shaughnessy, president of the International League, in 1950. The teams involved were Almendares (Cuba), Carta Vieja (Panama), Caguas-Guayama (Puerto Rico), and Magallanes (Venezuela). The teams from Panama and Puerto Rico played in the championship game with Panama winning the series. Forty-seven of the 73 players in the series were major leaguers and Negro Leaguers at some point in their careers. Some prominent players include Dan Bankhead, Chet Brewer, Willard Brown, Wilmer Fields, Terris McDuffie, and Theolic Smith.
