Collegiate Baseball Escape from Cuba Collegiate Baseball The Voice Of Amateur Baseball Started In 1958 At The Request Of Our Nation’s Baseball Coaches Vol. 62, No. 5 Friday, March 8, 2019 $4.00 Escape From Cuba 40-Day, 10,000 Mile Trip From Hell Ended In Heaven Enroute to United States, Randy Labaut and his parents are detained for 21 days in Mexico until immigration status is settled as family ultimately pays $7,500 fine to continue on to USA. By LOU PAVLOVICH, JR. Editor/Collegiate Baseball UCSON, Ariz. — Randy Labaut, along with his mom and dad, escaped from Cuba which took them on a dangerous T40-day journey to the United States in 2010 when he was just 13 years old. It involved 10,000 miles of travel and multiple stops in strange towns with complete strangers as guides in the quest to be in the USA. The plan to leave Cuba had its genesis many years prior as Raul and Ernestina Labaut, Randy’s parents, saved money for years with a goal putting aside $30,000 for this trip. This was extremely difficult to accomplish since Raul and Ernestina only made $20 a month each in this Communist nation on their jobs. Raul was a truck driver while Ernestina worked at a bank. They also earned additional money to supplement this meager income. Ultimately they saved $4,000 over many years. Their biggest asset was their car which they sold for $16,000. The other $10,000 was chipped in by an aunt and cousin who live in the United States. Living In Cuba “I have great memories of Cuba as I grew up,” said Labaut, the University of Arizona’s ace lefthanded pitcher. “I lived in a city called Alquizar which is about 40 minutes from Havana. “We have a lot of family members in Cuba. Just prior to the trip, my parents’ property was changed over to a relative so the Cuban government wouldn’t take it from us once we left. “If the property you own is in your name and you leave the country for the USA, then the property is automatically taken by the government. However, if you transfer the property to a family member, they will not take it. “Cubans in general don’t make enough money. My father Raul and mom Ernestina would make $20 each a month, and they utilized all that for food. “What your house looks like never mattered. What was important was having food on the table. “There were many things they did to make more money. If you work on a job, the most amount of money you typically earn in Cuba is $20 a month due to Communist rule. “What many people did for extra money was illegal. For example, if you work at a pharmacy, you have your normal job of filling prescriptions. But they also would sell medicine for extra income to people on the side. “My brother Raul, Jr. served in the military which everyone is forced to do when they turn 18. He would tell us horrible things that officers would do to the soldiers. “Soldiers were sleep deprived and worked long, long hours. Officers didn’t care about them. “The food was horrible. People from Cuba hate their time in the military. That is another reason my parents wanted us to get out of Cuba. They did not want me to serve in the military and suffer like Photo by Lou Pavlovich/Collegiate Baseball Arizona LHP Randy Labaut experienced wild trip to USA from Cuba.

MLB.COM First start back from surgery a win for Bailey By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com | @m_sheldon | July 31st, 2016 SAN DIEGO - Homer Bailey isn't the sentimental type, which didn't change during Sunday's long-awaited 2016 debut. But the Reds veteran starting pitcher certainly appreciated what it meant to return from Tommy John surgery on his elbow and 15 months of rehabilitation. Bailey earned the win with his solid performance in Cincinnati's 3-2 victory over the Padres. He threw 5 2/3 innings, allowing two earned runs, four hits, three walks and had six strikeouts while throwing 89 pitches. "It was great to be back out with your teammates when you've been watching them for about a year-and-a-half and wanting to be out there. To see those guys, I know how they've always had my back," Bailey said after his first big league start since April 23, 2015. Bailey's first inning wasn't a clean one with three hits, but none were very hard contact - two groundballs and a soft liner. Following Jabari Blash's two-out single in the first, Bailey essentially had his way with San Diego while retiring the next 14 batters in a row. "For the next four innings, he was really locked in," Reds manager Bryan Price said. That included a nine-pitch third inning and striking out the side in the fourth.

He didn't have the best command of his pitches, but he battled to limit the Braves to a pair of runs in the Reds 8-1 loss on Sunday at SunTrust Park. Castillo was clean during his first trip through the Braves' lineup. However, he quickly accelerated his pitch count as the Braves fouled off some quality pitches. He also ran into some trouble in the third inning as he allowed two runs on a double by Braves outfielder Nick Markakis that split the gap in right field. "I didn't have my best stuff today, but I went out there and competed," Castillo said through an interpreter. "I made my mistakes and I paid for it." Although he took the loss in his shortest start of the season, Castillo made sure to keep the Reds in the game. He limited the Braves to four hits and racked up eight strikeouts, five of which came in the first eight batters of the game. "I went out there and did the best I could to go deeper in the game," Castillo said. "After that mistake, I think I pitched really well." According to Statcast™, Castillo balanced his two-seam fastball, which topped out at 97 mph, with a strong changeup inside to right-handed hitters.

  • 'Wild Thing' Legend – but Williams Loaded the Bases with Hits In
    They print ‘Wild Thing’ legend – but Williams loaded the bases with hits in ’89 Cubs opener By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Friday, January 31st, 2013 In an explanatory scene from John Ford’s “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance,” a pundit explained why James Stewart’s acclaimed title feat, which he didn’t do, was firmly en- trenched in history. Paraphrasing, the fellow said when faced with writing about facts or the legend, “print the legend.” And so it was also with Mitch Williams in his Cubs debut on Opening Day, Tuesday, April 4, Succeeding his former status as a dramatic ninth-inning pitch- er, Mitch Williams now can hold an audience with his baseball 1989 at Wrigley Field. storytelling. The grand entrance for lefty Williams “Wild Thing” act as closer by now features him walking the bases loaded, then striking out the side, in the ninth inning of the Cubs’ 5-4 victory over the Phillies. The walk on the wild side, then the trio of whiffs, simply comes off as more stylish and dra- matic. But through the decades, baseball events not only get embellished, they also somehow merge with other dramatic happenings. In this instance, Williams and Sam Jones’ ninth -inning escape acts, both against Pennsylvania teams, tend to blend together in the minds of too many Cubs’ fans. www.ChicagoBaseballMuseum.org [email protected] On May 12, 1955, also at Wrigley Field, curveball specialist Jones did walk three Pirates in a row starting off the ninth while he had a no-hitter going. Jones, first African- American pitcher in Cubs history, passed Gene Freese, Preston Ward and Tom Saffel to load ‘em up for Dick Groat.
