-In 1999 the
U.S. Baltimore Orioles and the Cuban All-Star baseball teams played two games
(one in Cuba and one in the U.S.). The two
games were the first played in each other’s soil since 1959. Sports brings people from different cultures
together to compete in an environment where politics is forgotten at least for
the duration of the competition. The
Olympics is a great example of sports uniting people from all over the world.
-The U.S. trade
embargo was in place when the U.S.-Cuba baseball games were played and they
generated revenue? Having more of these
games creates jobs and entertainment for both countries.
-In the 2017 Major
League Baseball World Series the L.A. Dodgers have a popular Cuban player,
Yasiel Puig who’s talent and persona has allowed the Dodgers to be in the first
championship game since 1988.
-How important
is it to play sports (baseball or boxing) in Cuba? How do athletes get affected when they only
play their sport in one country?
-How many Cuban players
are there in the MLB?
-What kind of
performance would this be? Do I need
bats, gloves, baseballs, uniforms, flags?
-Can this be
performed on a baseball diamond or in a theater?
-Do sports bring
unity between two countries?
-A Cuban and
American performer can begin walking onto the stage and they find baseball
equipment on the ground. They face each
other and begin to bond through the use of the baseball equipment.
-Can this performance
encourage a diverse audience to get involved in a baseball game?
