Cubans love baseball and it is great to see them in the final.
Dude, they have been in every gold medal game since baseball became a medal sport at the Olympics.

No, Im sure Jose Contraras defected for the love of the game. A large Yankee contract had nothing to do with it.

I was being sarcastic, I think the large contract had everything to do with it.

I know. I'm just saying.... people who live in poor ways either live poor and happy or get a "Lucky" break and make it.

We should ask Yuniesky Bentancourt or Alex Sanchez about life in Cuba. Sanchez spent more than a year living in a small hut in Guantanamo Bay in 1994 waiting for a chance to get to the US and Bentancourt dodged bullets and risked his life floating across the Caribbean to make it to the US.

I guess they did all that because life in Cuba isn't too bad. That $20/month they get for being on the Cuban National must have given them second thoughts about leaving????

Yeah I think I'll ask Barnstormer Yamel Guevara how it was living there in Cuba. He was feature recently in a sporting news article which was very eye opening. Im pretty sure these guys risk everything when they defect to come here ..hmm ...and that includes leaving their families!
