This official International League ball was signed at a 1960 Havana Sugar Kings game in Havana. The only ball like this in the world and signed by Fidel Castro (the Dictator), Raul Castro (his brother and heir apparent), and Camilo Cienfuegos (Castro's general who "mysteriously" disappeared after becoming too powerful). From one of the Sugar Kings' final seasons, this minor league AAA team would have made it to the majors as an expansion team if not for the Cuban Revolution. Overall VG with the Fidel signa-ture the best of all.
