I know for certain that the Cuban National Team uses the D.H., but I couldn't find out whether or not it is used in the Cuban leagues.....My guess is that they do use the D.H.
Yoandry Urgelles is for me the most complete baseball player in Cuba on these days, the best offensive player is Frederich Cepeda.
Kennedy, Castro and Khrushchev.
There is one Cuban born player in the Baseball Hall of Fame, that being Tony Perez of the 'Big Red Machine' Cincinnati Reds of the 1970s who was born in Camaguey. Other fine players include: 1) Dolf Luque, born in Havana - pitched 20 seasons in the National League (1914-1915 and 1918-1935) and won 154 games. 2) Rafael Palmeiro, born in Havana - played 20 seasons (1986-2005) and hit 569 home runs. He has been linked with performance enhancing substances and, despite his statistics, will never be elected to the Hall of Fame. 3) Luis Tiant, born in Marianao - pitched 19 seasons (1964-1982) and won 229 games. 4) Tony Oliva, born in Pinar del Rio - outfielder for 15 seasons (1962-1976) and had a .304 career batting average.

The way the play it No. But they do play in different leauges.
Since my baseball cards say Tony Oliva was 6'2", I am gonna guess Jose Canseco.

The Habana baseball club lasted for 83 years. It started in 1878 and finished in 1961. It was one of the oldest baseball clubs in the old Cuban leagues.
That was Cuban born Estaban Bellan who played for the Haymakers in 1871 and 1872 and the New York Mutuals in 1873.
