Banned by the Castro government for plotting to defect and shunned by Cuban society, the finest pitcher in Cuba's history fearlessly turned his internal exile into a political crusade.

The Duke of Havana is the inside story of Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez, fallen hero of the Cuban revolution. Banned by the Castro government for plotting to defect and shunned by Cuban society, the finest pitcher in Cuba's history fearlessly turned his internal exile into a political crusade. He ultimately escaped his country in a twenty-four-foot boat and, nine months later, triumphed in the World Series with the New York Yankees. Present throughout his story are the immensely talented Cuban players whose lives reflect the slow death of Cuban socialism. Also present is the Castro-hating Miami-based sports agent Joe Cubas, whose audacious, secret plots have transformed him into a major political figure in the Cuban exile community's relentless war to topple Castro. These personal stories illuminate the rising political and social tensions in Cuba, the growing status of the Catholic Church in the country's affairs, major league baseball's astonishingly corrupt system for recruiting players, its systematic violation of the U.S. trade embargo against Cuba, and the historic role of baseball in U.S.-Cuba relations. Reported in the United States and Cuba by two award-winning journalists who became part of the story they were reporting, The Duke of Havana is a riveting story of sports, politics, and greed.Binding Type: Paperback

Wrinkle free? More like perma-wrinkle
I bought a similar shirt last year, and it was not as bad as this shirt, but the new one performs terrible. It feels like good quality and fits well. The problem is the stain free and the wrinkle free. The shirt stains, easily. However, due to whatever manufacturing process they use, traditional treatments do nothing. They just bead up and run off. My guess is whatever stained it in the first place is supposed to do this, but no. Worse is the wrinkle free. Just the opposite. I have followed the care instructions to the letter. But when the shirt comes out of the dryer it is no where ready to wear. So I iron it. I have no problem with this. After ironing I noticed that, while the shirt looks fine from a distance, up close you can see wrinkles all through the shirt. For instance, shirts wrinkle and crease on the sleeves when you roll up the cuffs (which I often do). Well, even after washing & ironing these wrinkles and creases are still there. Somewhat faintly, but they are there. So while the fabric appears ironed, you can see these wrinkles as if they are a pattern on the shirt. After several washings they are still there. Makes the shirt unwearable. Now I have to replace it.
