A Tribute to Cuban Baseball
A great number of Cubans played on baseball Teams in the Professional, Semi-pro, Amateur and  Sugar Mill Leagues in Cuba.  Cubans have played abroad in just about all the baseball playing nations.  In the United States, Cubans played proudly and with distinction in the Major Leagues, Minor Leagues, and Negro Leagues.  Ballplayers like Esteban Bellán, José Méndez, Martín Dihigo, Adolfo Luque, Miguel González, Minnie Miñoso, Camilo Pascual, Tony Pérez, and Jose Contreras have  had stellar careers in baseball.  Several Cubans are listed among the greatest players in baseball History .  Also, many of the greatest American ballplayers have played in Cuba.  Americans like Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Josh Gibson, and Satchel Paige have graced the ballfields of the island nation.  Many have appeared on Cuban Baseball Card sets and Collectibles.  This Web Site is dedicated to all the ballplayers of Cuban Heritage, either born in Cuba or children of Cubans, and all ballplayers from other nations who have played in Cuba.
