The seven photos above chronicle today -- March 15th-2023 -- as one of the Greatest Days in the storied history of Cuba Baseball. You see the very last pitch getting ready to end a 4-to-3 victory over Australia in the Tokyo Dome, which occurred at about 9:30 A. M. Eastern Time this morning. The talented and gritty Cuban players had won the 5-team Pool A in faraway Taiwan and today survived the Quarterfinals of the start-studded 20-nation 2023 World Baseball Classic in faraway Japan. Now Team Cuba flies, of all places, to nearby Miami as one of the four Semi-Finalists in the international event where teams from Japan, U. S., Dominican Republic, and Venezuela literally have line-ups loaded with the highest-priced baseball players in the history of the planet -- names such as Ortani, Betts, Trout, , Soto, etc., etc., etc. But let it known...this talented Cuban Team was not scared in Taiwan or in Japan and it will not be scared in the shadows of Little Havana in Miami. This Cuban Team is led by 27-year-old Superstar Yoan Moncada, the Third Baseman for the Chicago White and Cuba. His guts for fighting for his chance to play for Cuba in the World Baseball Classic tells you all you need to know about #10 Yoan Moncada.
The sole publisher of Cubaninsider, Rich Haney, has passionately studied Cuba day and night since the 1980s and he has visited the island. He is a fiercely pro-democracy conservative Republican from Virginia and he believes the Cuban Revolution and Revolutionary Cuba say more about the United States than they say about Cuba.
