Viva Habana

It was interesting watching the ESPN coverage from Havana on Tuesday.  It was the clearest picture I have seen of Estadio Latinoamericano.  After having spent the last few years pulling in the Cuban TV feed of games, it was nice to see the true ballpark. Leaving the politics aside, I felt it was an important step in the relations between the two countries. I could see, however, the affect the defections have had on the Cuban National team.  They are a younger team and didn't seem to have the same game experience as the other teams have had.  It was important for the Cubans to get that ninth inning run and threaten in the inning.  Hopefully more games will be played there by Major League teams.  It was a good start and maybe could lead to bigger and better things between the two countries.
