Baseball was contested at the 1938 Bolivarian Games in Bogotá, Colombia. One game was played between the Colombia and Venezuela national baseball teams on August 14, 1938, at the Campo Deportivo La Salle in Chapinero. Though baseball is popular on the coastal Caribbean region of Colombia, the 1938 games was reportedly the first time that baseball was played in Bogotá.
The tournament was the international debut of the Colombia national team, managed by Dominican Negro leaguer Enrique Lantigua, and the second appearance of the Venezuela national team, which had debuted earlier that year at the Central American and Caribbean Games.
