One of the members of the Komoux Masters Real Baseball League made a memorable holiday trip to Havana, Cuba this past Christmas.
With a mission in mind, Dale Greene brought to Cuba a set of uniforms donated by the masters league, together with two dozen baseballs kindly donated by Happy's Source for Sports. The donations were given to and well received with gratitude by Puentes Grandis, a baseball team from the west side of Havana that happens to be the champions of their baseball league this past year.
While proudly wearing their new team uniforms (which they were undefeated in) and in a quaint little park, Greene was then presented by the Puentes Grandis team with a challenge which he immediately accepted. Greene hopes to bring a team from the Comox Valley to Cuba this coming Christmas, 2012 to play a series of games against Puentes Grandis.
Greene and his co-captain Sy "Pedro" Pederson will be scouting the Comox Valley for experienced ball players that can withstand the vigors of Cuban warm weather,
beautiful beaches, rum, music, dancing and arriving at the ball parks in '55 Chev convertibles.
As the season approaches, interested players should contact Dale or Pedro. This trip is open to all ages.
