Wow, very cool piece! What are the measurements on it? I'd totally frame it if it were a good size.
I'm pretty sure the word "caramelo" is being used as "candy" in a general sense; the brand name of the candy is Play, so "The exquisite Play candies present the comical/humorous baseball series (i.e. collection/compilation)." The bottom line translates as "A gift (i.e. freebie/favor) from Play candies." And the artist gets his mention, "Drawings by Lucio."
Nice pickup!

I believe it translates roughly to:
"The Exquisite Candy (Caramelo) Presents the Baseball Series 'Comica'. A Gift from Caramelo's 'Play'"
It comes with a set of paper squares in a paper envelope stapled to the back, apparently to play a game on the board?
