I will be in Haarlem (The Netherlands) from July 9-18 covering the Cuban national team at the 25th Haarlem Honkbalweek tournament. Cuba is sending an exceptionally strong team and is thus a heavy favorite to capture the gold medal. Follow the action on our special tournament page at www.BaseballdeCuba.com.
