Luis Tiant, Pedro Lazo Throw Out First Pitch At Cuban Exhibition Game (Video)

With the Tampa Bays Rays playing an exhibition game against the Cuban national team in Havana, Tuesday undoubtedly will go down as a historic day in Major League Baseball.

So it should come as no surprise that some of Cuba’s best baseball players were in attendance for the game.

Former Boston Red Sox pitcher and Cuba native Luis Tiant and Cuban National Series pitcher Pedro Lazo both threw out the ceremonial first pitch.
