The Risco family is one of the most emblematic within the arbitration in Cuba and the National Series, among them the best known Luis Daniel del Risco del Río, head of Rules and Arbitration of the National Baseball Commission, also Treasurer of the Federation Cuban.
The manager is one of the most visible faces within FCB. He is even remembered last October for appearing on national television very moved and with a broken voice, on the verge of tears, on the NTV star space after the escape of 12 players out of a total of 24 Cuban players who traveled to Mexico to play the U23 World Cup last year.
“They wanted to destroy us, they wanted to put an end to Cuban baseball,” said the federation after the historic number of athletes dropping out for a baseball delegation at international events and describing them as “vile dropouts.” Among the most significant losses are names like Bryan Chi, Geysel Cepeda and Loidel Chapellí, of those who were led by Eriel Sánchez in the tournament.
His children, also linked to arbitration on the island for several years, made headlines this Saturday, March 26, after the eldest, Luis Daniel, arrived in the United States and reunited with his brother Ernesto Daniel, who has lived in Houston, Texas for several years.
“Unforgettable moment, unique here with one of my loves. Welcome to the United States” was the message shared through social media by Ernesto to receive his brother, who made the journey with his wife to the border of San Antonio, Texas.
The prickly pear and eldest son, not only served as an umpire in National Series, he also participated in the U15 Pre-World Baseball Pan American Championship held in 2019 in Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Mexico, where the Cuban team came in fourth place.
