MLB games in Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico is about to host its most significant sporting events since Hurricane Maria dramatically ravaged the islands seven months ago. Major League Baseball returns Tuesday to San Juan, with Cleveland and Minnesota opening a two-game series that many hope will remind the

rest of the world recovery is far from over. “I hate to say it, but this is a great platform, so people can see the reality,” said Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora, a native Puerto Rican. Blue tarps still cover countless damaged roofs. Many electronic signs along major highways aren’t working and traffic lights remain out even in some of San Juan’s more upscale areas. In Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands alone Maria is estimated to have caused up to $115 billion in damage.
