Museo Francisco "Pancho" Coimbre, Sports museum in Ponce, Puerto Rico
The Museo Francisco Pancho Coimbre contains photographs, documents, and memorabilia showcasing the development of baseball in Puerto Rico through extensive exhibits and collections.
Established in 1992, this museum became Puerto Rico's first sports institution, featuring artifacts from an era when professional baseball players earned five dollars per game.
The museum functions as both a tribute to baseball legend Pancho Coimbre and houses the Ponce Sports Hall of Fame, preserving local athletic achievements.
Located on Lolita Tizol Street near the Spanish military barracks, the museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday through Sunday between 8:30 AM and 4:30 PM.
The museum includes a track and field gallery dedicated to Juan Franceschi and displays a baseball bat that survived the fire that destroyed Coimbre's residence.
