Check out this latest memory to hit the UMDB. It's from the wife of Chico Fernandez and it looks like it could be the opening for another celebrity visit.

]He did love Met fans, however, and always enjoys going back to New York for the annual baseball hupla in New York city every January. 'hupla' Latin translation for 'hoopla' OE: Better - 'hupla': A dance Hawaiian Jews do at weddings. ] I am too young to have actually seen him play Yeah, boy. You go Chico!

]not black but Cuban Not that black and white are very good descriptors, because they aren't, but if you're going to accept them as legitimate terms, then neither should be mutually exclusive from being Cuban.

]He is also one of the few former players that we know of who will actually respond to fan mail. At least he has to the two letters he recieved so far. ;) J/K--had 2 go there had to.

The distinction is different in the US from what it is in Cuba. In Cuba, Chico did not have to think of himself being black in the same way that he did here.

Yeah, sure, but the claim is "not black but Cuban."
