I know that this is more properly on the memorabilia section but I wanted to get to a slightly larger audience for this post and I hope no one has to much issue with the placement . I recently picked up what is best described as a short baseball autobiography by a Cuban player named Francisco Fernandez. The note book outlines his start with a integrated club team -Deportivio Beunavista -to his time with the high level Fortuna and Artemisa teams in the high level amateur league in the 1940’s. The book which is written out long hand in a beautiful script and is full of original photos, names teammates and indicated his first games in certain leagues and stadiums. I am still in process of further research but want to post the memories of a player that may be forgotten. If any of the names in the photos ring a bell I would love to hear addition info- note the Héctor Rodriquez is not the player that played short stop for the cubs in 1952

If anyone can increase the image size I would be very thankful
