Cuban Catcher Augurs Tough Classic

Prensa Latina

Havana, Feb 18 (Prensa Latina) Cuban catcher Ariel Pestano asserted that the World Baseball Classic in March will be tough, because it will gather the best players of the world.

Pestano, aged 32 and Villa Clara´s short-stop in the Cuban championship, was lead batter in Athens 2004.

He asserted that Cuba does not have anything to lose in that tournament, but a lot to win.

"They say our baseball is inferior, thus we have nothing to lose," said the catcher, who was chosen most outstanding Cuban sportsman in team sports two years ago.
