Baseball from Cuba

Postcard

Baseball came to Cuba in the 1860's. Brought by Cubans who studied in the United States and American sailors in Cuban ports. It quickly spread through the island and took heart with the Cuban people who were fighting for their independence from Spain.

The Netherlands has beaten Cuba 2-1 to win the baseball World Cup 2011 in Panama.
