I show some photos of different posters with the Almendares players and some signed by Monte Irvin during the visits he made to my house in 2004, most of which he had never seen, he really liked the one in color, and He asked me to get him one, I looked for it among my old things and I found it, when he visited me two days later I gave it to him and he was very happy, unforgettable memories for me.

Great pieces Roland. Here is my blue version of the tan championship team photo you have.

Here is an autograph from his time with Almendares in Cuba, pre-MLB. Note that he signed "Monty." He would soon change to signing Monte because it was easier for him.

I thought I would post this here as well as the memorabilia section as this is home of the literal experts in the field. I came across this anonymous image a while back and I'm wondering if it could possibly be the 1918-19 Almendares squad? It is hard to find images for the entire team, but I believe I have been able to identify a half dozen or so members. I say "believe" because I'm terrible at comparing faces so I would appreciate anyone's input here. Could this be 1918-19 Almendares or am I just slightly crazy. Thanks and Happy Holiday all!




Who I think I might have identified.

#6 - Alfredo Cabrera



#10 - Jose Lopito Lopez



#12 - Agustin Parpetti



#14 - Jose Maria Fernandez



#15 - Jose Rodriguez



#18 - Gervasio Gonzalez

I am not sure of the year of the photo you have but it is not from the 1918-19 season. Below is a photo taken of the Almendares club on the inaugural day of the 1918-19 season. Note the difference in the uniform.

Monte Irvin had a great performance in the 1948-49 championship, and was of great help to Almendares' victory in the 10 homerun championship, and also in the 1st Caribbean Series held in Havana, by hitting 2 Champion homeruns, average of .389. Connors was also a great help in the Caribbean Series, ave.409 and leader in doubles with 3 and stolen bases with 4. I show photos of awards received by the two.

The collection of 24 cards from the weekly "Pionero" in 1970, is the first after the beginning of the National Series in 1962, I show the sheet with 9the uncut cards, according to the instructions, glue is spread on both sides of a thin cardboard and It is glued on the back, then the card is folded along the dotted line and when it dries the card is ready, on the front the photo of the player and on the back his personal data, this collection is very rare, at the same time The following year another collection was printed that I will show you at another time.

On September 1, 1867, the first baseball game reflected in the press was held in Cuba. It was a game between players from Havana and Americans, on the grounds of Palmar de Junco. It also appeared in the press in the United States on the 10th and September 11, 1867 Intelligensein the newspapers, The Evening Star, Daily National Intelligense and New York Herald, I show photos of the press in Cuba and the United States.

In 1864, after finishing his studies in the United States, Nemesio Guillo, his brother Ernesto and Enrique Porto returned to Cuba. Nemesio brought a ball and a bat in his luggage. The next day the three of them started, but they gradually added to the practice. other young people, until two years later Team Habana was formed, with two teams that played against each other, on the grounds of Paseo y Mar street, the 1st Habana Park, I show photos of 2 years ago when the Route plaque was inaugurated in the Linea y G Park, at the monument to Emilio Sabourin, a group of Americans were present
