In 1864 Nemesio Guilló returned to Cuba with his brother Ernesto and Porto, after finishing his studies in the United States brought a ball and a bat in his suitcase, and the next day the three began to practice among themselves, and other young people began to join in those practices, so he began to play baseball in Cuba, between 1865 and 1866 the Habana team was organized with two teams that played among themselves.

Gracias Rolando -- I hope to do a service to Cuba + Cuban baseball history by helping and doing my part to raise awareness of the true foundations of modern baseball. Nemesio and his brothers is such a fantastic story, including how he worked with Sabourin and Bellan together to form the Habana team. The history is so rich, all the way up through Foster, Hill, and Johnson joining the team in 1908. Its such a powerful stage that is set through all of Cuba's massive cultural, social, and political changes -- all reflected in how innovative and revolutionary their baseball league is, was, and became.
