When El Duque, also known as Orlando Hernández, was banned from Baseball in Cuba, he was a prominent pitcher for the Cuban national team. His ban in 1997 stemmed from his desire to defect and play in Major League Baseball (MLB). This decision led him to leave Cuba and eventually sign with the New York Yankees, where he achieved significant success. His journey highlights the challenges faced by athletes seeking to pursue their careers outside of Cuba's restrictive sports system.
