Cuban Stars (West)

The Cuban Stars were organized by Abel Linares and Tinti Molina as a traveling team that played only road games.

For its first five years, the team competed primarily in the eastern states, near New York City, Philadelphia, and Baltimore[citation needed] although it made a famous sojourn into Chicago in 1910 and 1911, taking on the Leland Giants and numerous semi-pro teams in the Chicago area.

By 1916, however, the team was competing primarily in the midwestern states and a competing Cuban team was organized in the New York area, which was also named the "Cuban Stars."

In 1919, they were the western champions, having the highest winning percentage of any Negro league team playing in the west.
