Cuba's most touching tribute to one of its greatest baseball ambassadors hangs alone on a living-room wall, a large framed painting that pays homage to the man who meant so much to game here and in the major leagues.
"Saturnino Orestes Arrieta Armas Minoso,'' a neighbor said, nodding at the artwork.
Chicago knew and loved him as Minnie.
Inside the house Minoso built in 1955, the portrait shows good ol' No. 9 in a white pinstriped White Sox jersey and black hat, gripping a bat in his familiar stance and wearing a mask of intensity that practically dares the pitcher to hit him.
