Cubano Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 As a Cuban, I know how it is. I left in 1994 and I have never comeback. http://cubanballplayers.blogspot.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Kid Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 that looks fantastic! I like how many of those guys in the park believe Contreras is the greatest Cuban pitcher of all time. I'm going with Tiant, then the duke, then Jose. Isn't it wild how they keep all those old cars in such great shape? Will the lifting of travel restrictions allow Cuban defectors like Duque and Contreras to go back for visits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My people do not know much about MLB. They do not have the info available. They only go by what other Cubans in the USA tell them or send them magazines, etc. Young Cubans do not know much about older Cuuban players in MLB such as Mike Cuellar, Camilo Pascual, Pedro Ramos, Dolf Luque, Minnie Minoso, Tony Oliva, Tony Perez, etc. Obama can lift all he wants, there will be some Cubans that will not allowed to return. This is all about the Cuban nitwits in power deciding who can go back who can not. See what Livan said in this interview with ESPN Deportes about this thing: http://cubanballplayers.blogspot.com/2009/...n-deportes.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pants Rowland Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 They were talking about the Tiant documentary on NPR the other day. I guess it is going to be showing at a film festival in upstate New York soon. Sounds fascinating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Tiant was awesome. I always loved to watch him pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
