Fidel Castro confirmed Wednesday that his country would play in the World Baseball Classic in Cuba's first official reaction to the U.S. government's decision allowing the communist country to participate.Mad-Matt hat geschrieben:cuba spielt mit... heute erlaubnis bekommen.. müssen nurnoch die einladung annehmen
"We will be there, but I would never have thought I would have to answer that question," Castro told reporters who questioned him during a surprise visit Wednesday night to a construction site outside the U.S. Interests Section in Havana.
Still, the Cuban president warned, "that is if (the Americans) don't start in on messing around with not giving the visas, or if they go crazy."
The U.S. government reversed course Friday and issued the special license necessary for Cuba to play in the 16-team tournament -- part of which will be played Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory.
