Not really, as of now Boxing has taken the lead & 2nd would be basketball & baseball is actually dieing out, as a matter of fact of the 6 professional teams there were here(Puerto Rico) now there's only 4(cause of lack of fans buying tickets to the stadiums) & out of the 4 teams left, 3 are Dominican owned(I think only "Los Criollos" de Caguas are Puerto Rican owned).. Now Soccer is becoming big & there are more fans going to see the "Islanders"(Puerto Rico's only pro Soccer team) than there are going to see baseball games & more kids coming up are playing soccer more than baseball..

No. There are more basketball fan in the island. Ever since PR beat the USA in the olympics it change. Basketball is number one right now. When ricans fight around the world, some of them go unnoticed. But we play ****** Islands and you we have 100 analyst of the game and everyone looking for a link. Even BSN is getting TV time.

Sadly baseball is not number one professionally. But Double A League, Coliceba and Single A league get more fans to the park than any other sport. Fans have a closer relationship with all this players and they follow because they are not "Estrellao". I can tell you, in my heart and many of my friends, Baseball still number 1. I dont care how many Tito's are in the sport. There is no one like Roberto Clemente
