It looks as though the Marines from the US Interests Section in Cuba are having trouble getting a game...
"The day of the proposed game, the Marines and others decided to play baseball anyhow. The field they went to, usually empty Sunday morning, was occupied by members of Cuba's Communist Youth group playing soccer, a U.S. Interests Section official said on condition of anonymity.
The Americans were turned away from two more fields and told by a field director that they must pay a fee and get advance government permission to play."
Ha ha ha!
