The visit to his paternal aunts is very emotional, he wasn't even sure who was still alive. There's also a visit Tony Oliva's brother, who was also a good player and said he was a turtle compared to Tony.

Cubans have a different vibe, you kinda can feel it here even if you don't understand.

@beisbolcards Anthony Bourdain did a Parts Unknown episode in Cuba and iirc half of it was about the baseball culture there, and for a couple of years I found live streams of Cuban baseball to treat my winter baseball withdrawal - love it so much!

@fc

Will look for Bourdain's video. He ate tacos in my hometown and really knew how to choose good spots.

Cuban baseball games are usually live on YouTube. And most of the broadcasters are actually good.

@beisbolcards For some reason I had trouble finding live streams at some point and gave up. I’ll try again!
@fc oh no! Say it isn't so!
@jda Some people just seem like they'll go on forever.
@fc I know! I was surprised to read how relatively young he was.
