A great piece about baseball and the people in Cuba wrapped around the individual tales of a jailed Cuban-American "broker" and agent of Cuban talent who seems to have been railroaded and was just trying to do the right thing, a retired Canadian teacher and amateur baseball historian trying to help and a hot headed Cuban baseball legend who would make Lou Pinellia blush.
The microcosm of the game in Cuba tells a broader story of the failure's of Castro's regime but also shows how our own country is willing to exploit a human being's talent and desperation for their own gain.
