[Cubanball]

I was born in Cuba. So not surprisingly I collect Cuban baseball cards and cards of Cuban players. Upon arriving in the US as a young boy, I found baseball as the one thing that bridged my prior life in Cuba and my new life in the US. I remember fondly watching the 1975 world series which turned me into a Red Sox fan. My first baseball card collection focus mainly on Red Sox cards. Ted Williams and Carl Yastrzemski where my heroes. In the 1990s as a baseball card dealer I began to focus on cards of Cuban baseball players. At the end of the decade I discovered cards produced in Cuba. Soon that became the main focus of my collecting. Today I am working on cataloging every single 20th century baseball card issued for a Cuban born baseball player and every single Cuban issued baseball card.
