History
The team was established on 15 December 1910 with the idea of competing against Tigres del Licey, that dominated the Dominican League during those years. Estrellas Orientales won their first title in 1936 defeating Santiago Baseball Club, Tigres del Licey and Leones del Escogido. The team won the championship for the second time in 1954 and again in 1968.[1]
In 2019, after 51 years, Estrellas Orientales won their fourth title after defeating Toros del Este in the championship series.[2]
