Defending Bolivar League champ Caracas defended their North Division title in 1933 at 100-62, outlasting 1931 champ Medellin by four games and Valencia by six games. Veteran first baseman Henry Rezende won the MVP for the Colts, leading the league in runs (101), homers (44), and RBI (105).
The South Division had a third champ in three years as Cali took the top spot at 92-70, one game ahead of defending champ Lima. Cyclones ace Virisimo Ibarra won his second Pitcher of the Year with the league –best 1.39 ERA and 29 quality starts.

In the Southern Cone, Fortaleza claimed back-to-back Brazil Division titles as the 99-63 Foxes were one game better than Brasilia. Santiago was back-to-back South Division winners as their 91-71 record was four ahead of Buenos Aires.
The Saints had the Pitcher of the Year in Honorio Colon, as the 33-year old Paraguayan led in innings (271.1), strikeouts (275), and WAR (9.3). The Atlantics had the MVP in outfielder Eduardo Tellez. The 31-year old lefty from Uruguay was the seasons WARlord at 9.4.
In the Bolivar League Championship Series, Caracas bested Cali in six, giving the Colts back-to-back league titles. Santiago downed Fortaleza in five to give the Saints their first title. The 1933 Copa Sudamerica was the first to go all seven games. Caracas prevailed over Santiago for their first BSA title and the first for a Venezuelan team.
