1970 Amateur World Series

The 1970 Amateur World Series was held in Cartagena, Colombia from November 18 through December 4, 1970.[1] It was the first Amateur World Series in over 30 years to feature a European team and was the first to include two European teams. While both won a game, the newcomers clearly struggled; within 35 years, both will have made it to the Medal round.[2]
