Fortunately for the Cuban baseball team, Cuban leader Fidel Castro didn't demand that they win, the team's manager, Higinio Velez, said recently, according to the Communist Party Daily, Granma: "Before we left for the Classic, he [Castro] got together with us, bid us farewell and did not demand that we win this tournament," said Velez in San Diego. "He just asked us to play good ball, do our best as a baseball team, and show the world the kind of baseball we play in Cuba."
