LA HABANA - There are few people who know more about baseball than the fans who meet everyday at the famous Peña Deportiva in Havana’s Central Park, better known as the “Hot Corner,” where the most heated discussions arise about Cuba’s national sport.
And Thursday afternoon was no exception, when a fan started a lively debate on who has been a better manager for the New York Yankees, Joe Girardi or Joe Torre.
But on this occasion, the discussion had a singular twist of fate, for Torre himself, MLB’s current vice-president, was present, and he was also accompanied by three-time Cy Young winner Clayton Kershaw and star sluggers Miguel Cabrera and Nelson Cruz.
