Operation “Home Run”

Emilio Ichikawa tells us about Operation “Home Run,” and how the Castro regime is cashing in on Cuban baseball players who “defect” to the U.S. to earn millions in the Major Leagues.

It had already started years ago when they sent M. and C. to “defect.” The latter of the two was sent with his entire family on a speedboat that left from the coastguard base at Boca de Galafre at 1:00 pm, which was witnessed by many who had no idea what was going on.

There are 62 Cuban baseball players training at this very moment in the Dominican Republic, and a smaller group in Mexico, and all of these young men have left Cuba with their “white card,” which was given to them miraculously in only a few days.

Just like some travel agencies are owned by the dictator, there are “representative” agencies already created in Miami that are owned by him as well. They already exist for artists and performers… but there was so much controversy there… appearing on television programs that they decided to do it a very quiet way and almost anonymously. The purpose of these artists going through Miami is to allow the exile community to promote them without having to spend any money on advertising (you know how cheap the two brothers can be).

Going back to the baseball players, they no longer have to leave on speedboats or stay… the government itself gets them out of the country in airplanes. These last ones will never know that the percentage of their contracts being paid to their “representatives” goes directly to the coffers of Antonio Castro, and as the last bit of information, here is the name of the operation, since you already know they love to do everything as a military operation: Operation “Home Run.”
