Cuban baseball players must supply their
own equipment
HAVANA, Dec. 4 (www.cubanet.org) - The
manager of the Central Havana baseball teams
says that in the 18 months he's been on
the job school age and juvenile players
have had to supply their own equipment.
"The players have had to bring their
own balls, gloves and bats from home,"
said Ricardo González. "Nobody
has given me anything, neither the municipal
nor provincial sports authorities, nor to
my predecessors, as far as I know."
A used glove costs around US$7.50 while
a new one costs US$32 in the dollar stores,
the only places where they can be found
for sale.
