Abstract

baseball has long been considered the great "American Pastime", for many it conjures up images of children playing in little league games and the epic scenes of Field of Dreams, in which the diamond is surrounded by cornfields. However imagine such a diamond surrounded by sugar cane. This is the case in cuba where baseball has overwhelmingly come to be viewed as the true national sport of the country. Cuban players are among the greatest to play the game in the major leagues, with players like José Canseco, Rafael Palmiero, and José Contreras having storied careers in modern times. However cuba's relationship to baseball goes far beyond a simple breeding ground for Major League baseball.
