However, as we have reported on our website on several occasions, it seems that this measure remained on paper and was never put into practice, since both in the matches that are televised by Tele Rebelde and in the images that have circulated on social networks about the games of the 61 Series, the stands of the stadiums can be seen full “to bursting”, without “not a single fly”, as some radio stations usually say that describe the incidents of the most popular domestic tournament in Cuba.

Beyond the implications that this reality may bring from the point of view of the health of the Cuban population, this “luck” that baseball has has been questioned by exponents of other professions on the island, such as case of the artist Yomil Hidalgo, who from his social networks criticized what was seen last weekend during the duel between Industriales and Matanzas, held at the Latin American capital stadium.
