About Me: My name is Cesar Lopez and I was born in Camaguey, Cuba. From a very young age I was exposed to the incredible love that Cubans have for baseball. When my family came to live in Miami I embraced Major League baseball. I became a big sports fan and collector of baseball cards. As an adult I became a baseball card dealer and baseball researcher. I am now a member of SABR and actively participate in the activities of the Miami Chapter. I participate in functions related to Cuban Baseball, many of which are attended by ex-players of the Cuban Professional Leagues and Major League baseball. This web site is the result of my research and my love of Cuban baseball history and collecting.
