Fidel takes their toys and sends them home

Cuban thugs put the kibosh on a baseball game:

HAVANA (AP) - It was supposed to be a friendly baseball game. But hours before a neighborhood youth group was to play a team from the U.S. mission in Havana, Cuban security agents allegedly charged into the home of activist Marcos de Miranda and confiscated his baseballs, bats and mitts.

De Miranda's parents, Roberto--a librarian who had been imprisoned by Castro--and his wife, Soledad Rivas, were brought in for questioning. The Americans scheduled to play against the youth group were turned away from three fields because they didn't get advance permission to play.

Via Lucianne.
