Baseball the way it's meant to be Loved.
Cuba has long had a passion for baseball that rivals, even surpasses that of the United States. Coach and I walk through the beautiful, often volatile history of baseball in Cuba, how the game has evolved in the country, the dangers of players escaping to the Majors, and how today’s game embraces the Latin style of play.
From when Bob Feller threw against a motorcycle, to the VR hitting machines of today, we look at the evolution of training and equipment in baseball history. The different measures of performance (7:30), the torque bat craze (17:00), the advancement of protection (26:00), and who has the technology advantage, the hitters or pitchers (37:00)? Coming into home, we pay our respects to “The Greatest”, Muhammad Ali (43:00).
