San Francisco
Rolando, amazing photo. Not to many people know that the San Francisco baseball club, made up entirely of black Cubans, was the team that in 1900 integrated the Cuban leagues. The team also went on to win the 1900 season championship. They dethroned the Habana club in a three game playoff. Veteran Salvador "Yoyo" Rosado sealed the victory by defeating Habana's sensational rookie Luis "Mulo" Padron (pictured below).
