This (somewhat) fictional story is a tribute to two men whose love for Cuba and baseball is beyond question: Ernest Hemingway and Tony Oliva. In the summer of 1960, Hemingway was sixty years old and in failing health. He and his fourth wife, Mary, were forced to leave their bucolic estate southeast of Havana. For nearly twenty-two years, the Hemingways had made the Finca Vigía (i.e., ”Lookout Farm”) their home base, but now, under pressure from the U.S. government to leave Cuba, which was becoming more dangerous under the new Communist regime, they vacated their beautiful, fourteen-acre ...

Every time someone appears on a social media platform, they have the potential to acquire fame.
