Nicaraguan baseball player Pablo Juárez represented the national team for more than a decade. In 1974 Nicaragua won silver at the Amateur World Series with Juárez named as the tournament’s all-star designated hitter. Three years later he was part of the team that won gold at the 1977 Central American Games, before winning silver in 1978 at the Central American and Caribbean Games. Despite a poor performance at the 1984 Amateur World Series, Juárez was selected to compete at the Los Angeles Olympics, where baseball was played as a demonstration sport. In 1986 he was part of the gold medal winning team at the Central American Games.
