He started his own travel business, a very successful business, subsequently accepted the position managing the Olympic Games in Los Angeles in 1984, one of the most successful this country or any other has ever had, and subsequently became Commissioner of Baseball. When we first contacted him about speaking today, we told him that we were seeking George Steinbrenner. After Peter had accepted, we talked with George. And George said, well, that would be just fine, but he would have to agree with everything that Mr.

BASEBALL DIPLOMACY ANDREA KUPFER SCHNEIDER* Cuba is perhaps the country with which the United States has had the longest lasting troubled relationship. Dating back to the Bay of Pigs and the Cuban Missile Crisis, the public's response to Cuba is often visceral and negative. Our response to baseball is similarly visceral and positive.' Baseball has inspired songs,2 jingles,3 poetry,4 and some of our most be- loved movies.5 When the relationship with Cuba collides with the sport that is perhaps our nation's most cherished, the result is bound to be explosive. Consider this: our relationship with Cuba in the last decade has in- cluded the shooting down of civilian aircraft by the Cuban Air Force, the Helms-Burton Act which tried to expand the Cuban embargo, and the Elian Gonzales saga. Yet, at the same time, numerous Cuban baseball players have made their way to the United States and to Major League Baseball (MLB). This article will examine several issues at the intersection of Cuba, the United States, and baseball.
