The Guaynabo Mets were a BSN professional basketball team from Puerto Rico. The Mets began to play as basketball's original Santurce Crabbers. Before the 1976 season, they moved to Guaynabo. At first, they had to play at a local gymnasium in Isla Verde, a San Juan area somewhat far from Guaynabo. The Mets were a force in Puerto Rican basketball during the 1980s. With such players as Fico Lopez, Mario Morales, José Sosa, Nestor Cora and many more, the Mets won championships in 1980, 1982 and 1989, while reaching the finals in 1981, 1983, and 1985. The reached the playoffs every year during that decade. In 1983, their new home, the Mario Morales Coliseum, was inaugurated. Apart from the Mets' home games, the coliseum is also used for boxing, roller derby and musical acts. It features a large painting of Morales on the entrance. The Mets reached the finals again in 1990 and 1993, losing both times to the Ponce Lions. Economical problems forced the team out of the league by the early 2000s.
