The entire interview is also now available on our Cuban League website found at www.BaseballdeCuba.com. The interview will hopefully tell you something about Chapman as an MLB prospect, but also displays a good deal about Cuba’s baseball scene, and even reveals something about the author’s own two-decade involvement with the island’s extensive baseball culture.
