 "Cuban Baseball" by Bruce Brown (from Atlantic Monthly)
Cuban baseball, whose organized league play began in 1878 (just two years after the birth of the National League, and twenty-two years before the birth of the American League), has always differed from American baseball in several respects, such as racial attitudes.
The Cubans that American baseball fans remember are members of the last group to arrive on these shores, in the early 1960s: the Twins' Tony Oliva and Zoilo Versalles; Tony Perez, of the Reds; Oriole ace Mike Cuellar; Luis Tiant, of the Red Sox; and Bert Campanaris, of the Oakland A's.
Light-skinned Cubans began to infiltrate white baseball in America, and soon complaints arose that the racial purity of the American sport was being sullied.
