Specialized Catalog Cuban Cards Answer

[Roland 49]

Leon, I always try to please everyone and those players that I saw play in Cuba in the 50s, and I know they feel happy seeing their things that has happened to everyone, on a regular occasion of Monte Irvin's visits to my house Each time for more than 5 hours, they saw things that they had never seen, Max Manning's daughter saw on their tours that they did not talk about her father and she thought that no one knew him in my house, show a lot of her father, photos, balls signed, autographs, cards etc and she got excited every time she saw something, and was happy to see that I took care of her things, that has happened with all the players of that time, some deceased, others are still alive, but they all became great my friends. Ramos wrote me yesterday the following "Thank you for saving those memories because otherwise we would be forgotten, thank you, thank you." Now I will show a weekly program and score card from 1959-60 that I show Ramos along with others of him, I remember that when I entered the Stadium my father always bought them and gave them to me, I keep many of them.

Now I show you a photo of Cienfuegos when they won the May 1955-56 championship on the back signed by all the players.

This is a cover photo of Cinema magazine announcing the movie "Honor y Gloria" played by Roberto Ortiz, one of the best hitters in Cuban baseball.

From the memorabilia of Cuban baseball I show you 2 bucaros from Las Bailarinas, I have those from the 4 teams, they are rare.

Now you will see from the Cuban Memorabilia a Christmas tree ball in the shape of a scorpion from the Almendares of the 50s. It is made of glass.

Other photos, continuing the other thread, in one we see an image of what happened, and Almendares decided to take Strike out of the game to please McGraw since they had not played for more than an hour and more than 15,000 spectators were restless, as the game continued. Almendares won the game with his pitcher Bombin Pedroso, in the other photo McGraw is seen at the end of the game getting into the car.

Now I show the card of pitcher Raquel Antunez, from the Sports Almanac Album, playing for the Camaguey team of the La Federación championship at the La Tropical Stadium.

Late response but that's pretty cool, Roland.
