The Cerveceria Polar were part of the Cuban Amateur League. In addition to the four-team Cuban League, the island nation also had a lively amateur baseball scene. This club was named after the popular Polar brand beer. Amateur baseball in Cuba was thriving in the 1940s and deepened the organization and maturity of the league. There were several amateur leagues in Cuba. Many of the leagues were composed of factory or businesses workers who represented their individual companies. Main sources of talent for Cuban baseball teams were from sugarmill baseball, semi-professional teams, and the amateur leagues. Original amateur teams represented exclusive social clubs in the Havana area, such as the Velado Tennis club. The term “amateur baseball” is defined as “specifically the game played by social clubs who played in the Amateur league.” Cubans refer to this league as los amateurs. The growth of amateur baseball can be attributed to the economic recovery in Cuba around 1934. In 1934 there were only six teams but by 1940 that grew to eighteen.
