Fidel castro and baseball: the untold story
Politically a Marxist–Leninist and Cuban nationalist, has governed the Republic of Cuba for 47 years as Prime Minister from 1959 to 1976 and then as President.
While Fidel had in truth just received his University of Havana law degree in 1950 as Hoak accurately announces, Batista for his part was not then in power (he.

Fidel

The role played by the recently deceased historic leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, in the development of Special Education in the country, was highlighted today by professionals in the sector.

'There is no person in this world with the human sensitivity of Fidel, hence his manifest love for children, particularly those who need special education!' Marlen Triana, director of Special Education in Cuba, told Prensa Latina.

At a press conference held here at the Ministry of Education, Triana recalled the words of the legendary head of the Rebel Army, when with the inauguration of the Dora Alonso Special School on January 4, 2002, he called on all educators of that education to provide the best of care to these children.

Then 'our Commander in Chief told us that the care and education of these children was a science and urged us to seek the best resources, to perfect the methodology to meet the challenge,' he said.

In this regard, Dr. Ivette Méndez, director of the Latin American Reference Center for

Fidel Castro and Baseball

His fastball has long since died. He still has a few curveballs which he throws at us routinely. — Nicholas Burns, United States State Department Spokesman

Most baseball fans tend to take their idle ballpark pastimes far too seriously. On momentary reflection, even a diehard rooter would have to admit that big–league baseball’s most significant historical figures — say, Mantle, Cobb, Barry Bonds, Walter Johnson, even Babe Ruth himself — are only mere blips on the larger canvas of world events. After all, 95 percent (perhaps more) of the globe’s population has little or no interest whatsoever in what transpires on North American ballpark diamonds. Babe Ruth may well have been one of the grandest icons of American popular culture, yet little in the nature of world events would have been in the slightest degree altered if the flamboyant Babe had never escaped the rustic grounds of St. Mary’s School for Boys in Baltimore.1

Such is certainly not the case with Cuba’s most notorious pitching legend turned Communist revolutionary leader. Although Fid

Che Guevara and Fidel Castro, 1960

Late 1958, 50 years ago, the revolution won, Batista fled, Fidel and his brother Raúl entered Habana early 1959. The rest is history. Castro’s resignation as President is a mini-event.

He has put his mark on the history of Cuba, Latin America, the whole world. He has survived politically 10 US presidents (5 even serving more than one term, 6 also biologically), all out to intervene, invade, kill him, this Fidel, this faithful, who, hopefully, one day will write a comparative presidentology:

Eisenhower 1957-1960
Kennedy 1961-1963 – killed
Johnson 1963-1964; 1964-1968
Nixon 1969-1972; 1973-1974 – resigned
Ford 1974-1976
Carter 1977-1980
Reagan 1981-1984; 1985-1988
Bush Senior 1989-1992 (father-son, not brother-brother)
Clinton 1993-1996; 1997-2000
Bush Junior 2001-2004; 2005-2008 (?, the end is not known)

I met Fidel three times, mainly for interviews. He did the talking: intense charisma, rock-bottom knowledge, faith; kno
