There is a documentary about him and Monte Irvin. http://thebasesareloaded.com/The_Bases_Are_Loaded/Home.html It’s a good one. I remember it from my “Rhetoric of Sports in American Film” college class

A) I wonder if he will get to keep the $20,000 pension check the article mentions or will it go to the state?

B) If he does get to keep it, does automatically make him one of Cuba’s wealthiest citizens?

Great story, but I think my favorite highlight of the article is the simple fact that he was a Rookie at age 39! Thats pretty damn cool.

The guy is a glory in Cuba, he teached a lot of cuban players including most of the guys that have been playing in the MLB in the last few years. For a long time was one the main advisers for the national cuban team.
