With the new normalization, how long until Havana gets a Major League Baseball team?

[Electric Monk]

and who would own it?

[Brother Buzz]

1. I think even Farm Teams is a stretch at this point

Although I suspect the scouts might be excited about the idea of poking their noses in to see what the can see.

[pscot]

2. How long before they made the World Series

That would be so cool!

[malaise]

3. The US can't beat Cuba in baseball

That's why it's not in the Olympics

[Codeine]

11. The US beat Cuba in the 2000 Olympics

The IOC voted it out of the Olympics because it just isn't universal enough. And because it's so gawd-awfully boring.

4. I'm cool…

As long as they don't win a WS before the Cubs…

5. I like sports

football is my favorite to watch on tv but Baseball is my favorite to watch in person. I say we make Cuba our 51st state and let the puke heads go pop

[Logical]

6. Baseball is to slow for me. But I know people love it. nt

[madokie]

7. Its too slow for me on teevee

but in real life it is perfect. You have time to enjoy yourself without having to keep your attention solely on the game.

[Logical]

10. I agree with that. Catching up with friends is great at the ballpark. Relaxing also. Nice weather!!

[bluedigger]

8. Well, first they need to have paying customers.

Although again, that hasn't stopped Florida from having two teams.

9. It'd make more sense to compete at college level

where the players are nominally unpaid. Cuba isn't about to want to start paying multi-million dollar salaries and fees.

[Comrade Grumpy]

12. You could call them the Castros. The could play in the Castrodome.

[Gman]

13. Farm clubs within 5 years

Major league team in 10

[kydo]

14. Maybe we should ask: "Which MFB Team should we send to Cuba?"

The Rays.

[B Calm]

15. I like the idea!

[Initech]

16. Probably about the same time Los Angeles gets a football team.
