[1] Venezuela won its first major international baseball title, defeating defending champions Cuba in a tie-breaker championship game.

The victory is cited as the catalyst for baseball's exploding popularity in Venezuela, and the championship team was hailed as "Los Héroes del '41" ("Heroes of '41").

[4] With the departure of Hawaii, the Amateur World Series would consist exclusively of national teams from the Americas going forward, until Italy and the Netherlands were added for the 1970 edition.

Other players included outfielder Chucho Ramos (a future Cincinnati Red), Dalmiro Finol, who would hit both the first home run in Venezuelan professional baseball (1946) and the first in Caribbean Series history (1949), and Julio Bracho.

Guillermo Prieto led the tournament in average, going 12-for-22 at the plate and hitting .545, the highest imark to that point in Amateur World Series history.

Though the Venezuelan federation was reportedly satisfied with being crowned co-champions with Cuba, Cuban organizers pushed for a playoff game, allowing Venezuela's squad an extra few days rest for their ace Canonico.
