Baseball has always been popular in Puerto Rico, and never more so than now. The Houston Astros have three native sons on their World Series roster, including all-star shortstop Carlos Correa. LOS ANGELES—At Lupi’s, a seaside restaurant in the Isla Verde section of San Juan, Puerto Rico, a worker arranged wooden chairs on the terrace ahead of a World Series game this week. During the National League Championship Series, the black T-shirt Hernandez wore beneath his game jersey was emblazoned with a Puerto Rican flag and the slogan “Puerto Rico Se Levanta” — Puerto Rico Will Rise. “Hopefully, I can have a few good games in the World Series to where fans feel like they can donate a little more so we can help out more people.”
