Cuban Winter League (Special Season – Triangular) (1926-27) During the 1926-27 winter baseball season in Cuba there were two leagues. The “new” competing league was called the Triangular League because it was composed of three teams (Alacranes, Havana Reds and Marianao). The owners of these three “new” teams were better financed than the owners of the “other” league and could sign the best Latin and Negro League players. The season opened on 10/28/26 and ended on 2/6/27. Batting Leaders Player Team AB R Hits 2B 3B HR Average C. Garcia Alacranes 8 0 4 - - - .500 J.
