They were held at Comiskey Park and Wrigley Field in Chicago from August 27 through September 7. They were the only Pan Am Games (through 2015) won by Venezuela. {{Bb|VEN|1930}} went 6-1 to claim the title. The team was managed by José Antonio Casanova and featured future big leaguer Dámaso Blanco. Infielder José Flores led the event with three triples while Manuel Pérez Bolaños was 2-0 on the mound, as was 18-year-old Luis Peñalver, about to embark on a 19-year Minor League career, mostly in AAA.{{Bb|PUR|1952}} won Silver, thanks to a 5-1 record. Irmo Figueroa led the competition in average (.500) while Carlos Pizarro had the most hits (12). R. Vazquez led in RBI (10) and tied for the home run lead with 2.{{Bb|USA|1959}} won Bronze at 4-3; their 3-2 win over Cuba helped them lock up the Medal. An A. Hall, presumably Alan Hall, tied for the homer lead with two. Charles Davis had the best ERA (0.69). Lou Brock was 1 for 10.{{Bb|CUB}} had a very disappointing tourney, going 2-4 and failing to take a medal, a contrast with the upcoming Fidel Castro era teams that won 10 Pan Am Games Gold Medals in a row. Urbano Gonzalez hit .353 and Pedro Chavez was 5 for 9.{{Bb|MEX|1934}} was 5th at 3-2. Roberto Coto led the event with 5 doubles. Mauro Ruiz went 2-0, the only non-Venezuelan to post that record.{{Bb|CRI}} had one of their best events ever, going 3-3 to finish 6th. They were followed by {{Bb|NIC}} (7th, 2-4) and {{Bb|DOM}} (8th, 2-3). {{Bb|BRA|1889}} pulled up the rear, losing all six of their games.Final standing{{col-begin}}{{col-2}}
