The Metropolitanos of Havana is a baseball team in the Cuban National Series. The Metros, also known as the Guerreros (Warriors), has historically been a poor team, though it is ostensibly the heir to the Habana teams of the pre-revolutionary Cuban League.
It is one of two teams based in the city of Havana - the other being the more successful Industriales.
Frequently, the National Series removes several of the best players from the Metropolitanos squad and sends them to Industriales.[1] Players including Rene Arocha, Osvaldo Fernández, Frank Montieth and Antonio Scull have begun their careers with the Guerreros, only to be sent later to the Leones.
