Catholic Priest Reports Castro Missed Joining Bucs
In 1953 Fidel Castro reportedly pitched for a Cuban team watched by Pittsburgh scouts during an Havana exhibition against the Pirates. The priest who attended the game says Castro did not receive a contract, though major league scouts were observant. Four months later Castro led an attack, was imprisoned, freed in 1955, and later began his revolution.
