Gracias Rolando -- I hope to do a service to Cuba + Cuban baseball history by helping and doing my part to raise awareness of the true foundations of modern baseball. Nemesio and his brothers is such a fantastic story, including how he worked with Sabourin and Bellan together to form the Habana team. The history is so rich, all the way up through Foster, Hill, and Johnson joining the team in 1908. Its such a powerful stage that is set through all of Cuba's massive cultural, social, and political changes -- all reflected in how innovative and revolutionary their baseball league is, was, and became.
