it's not crazy to wonder if a cuban born baseball player had ever met castro. That's like wondering if a major leaguer had met George Bush (many have).

 

This guy was born 20 years after Fidel. At the time of the revolution, he was a young teenager. If he was still on the island, my guess is Fidel was busy with other things to bother meeting young ballplayers. He signed with Cleveland in 65, and I assume was out of Cuba by then. So, if he met Fidel, it would have had to have been in the middle of the revolution or just after Fidel took power and was in the middle of completely overhauling the country.

 

I'd bet they never met, regardless of how big a baseball fan Fidel was.
