And if I may, I add another Thank You. Thank you.
Heheheee! Love it!
I wonder why the constant drumbeat about how Cuba's team is made up of amateurs. I heard this in Olympic Boxing for ages. It was a crock then; it is now.
The Cuban National Team is not thrown together in a few weeks' time, of players who may have never played an inning together in their careers. The Cuban Team plays together all the time. They have tremendous skill, and they are great ballplayers, but they are a unified team that has been together for years. In that respect I consider them to be Pros.
There are other reasons as well, but that is an important one.
And, dagnabbit, why didn't they defect? *grrrr*
Yup, the Cuban baseball team is like the East German swim teams or the USSR hockey teams of the 1970's, a team that's called amateur because it's not directly paid for its athletic performance, though all of its expenses are paid by the state.
I'm just glad that Castro does not have a trophy to pose with and give three hour speeches about.
