Oh the irony of it all..Cuba, a team without a training facility, a team without enough baseballs to play with because the U.S.A. cut them off...
Can you imagine, your national team not even having quality balls to use, to practice with?
Cuba's great pitcher said it best..."The major leagues?" Pedro Luis Lazo said. "We've shown they're in Cuba." he shut down the dominican (the other world power who has moved ahead of US baseball) with a lineup of , Tejada, Pujols, Ortiz, Beltre, Alou and Soriano !!!!
After the game he shook hands with Albert Pujols, perhaps the best hitter in the world today, imagine this, the best hitter and this legendary Cuban pitcher, one making more money than he could spend in 5 lifetimes, the other making 20 dollars a week, yet on the baseball field they are equals.
Somehow I doubt the Cuban team is juiced up on steroids either, when you can barely afford uniforms....this is an amazing story .
