The New York Cubans was one of the many teams which were a part of the Negro Leagues way back in the day. It is interesting to think about how such a name fits into the whole discussion about Indian mascots and sports teams.

There are some spots here in Chicago that are honoring Negro League players in the best way. One of them is the Negro League Cafe on the south side. I just heard that Major League Baseball has named the remaining 62 former players as ambassadors, they will be at various ballparks throughout the league dropping knowledge on the population that does not know.
Good stuff. But it's just a start.
Thanks for the info.
