Touring Cuban teams were the vehicle that allowed American blacks, posing as "Latins," to play pro ball in their own country. Returning the favor, black players often made the trip south to play winter ball, and as this remarkable aggregation of 5 rare team photos show, Cuban teams were stocked with top-shelf Negro leaguers. Includes incredible 1926 and 1927 team shots of Havana and Staro, respectively, include early Negro leaguers Clint Thomas and Eddie Douglas; 1930 Almendares has Mack Eggelston; 1939 Santa Clara has Roy Partlow, Sam Bankhead and Harry Williams; 1944-45 Cinefuegos has no less than Martin Dihigo -- not only the greatest Cuban player but arguably the greatest player, period, of all time. These are original Cuban photos, some with written dates and/or stampings on the back. Generally VG with corner damage on the '26, 27 and '30 unaffecting the group images.
