The kidnapping of Fangio was a very strong and courageous act
by the Revolutionaries of Fidel Castro in 1958.
The news spread like wildfire.
Cuba became free on January 1, 1959.

ESPN did not even exist back in 1958. I was a student at La Salle del Vedado.
Unfortunately for us kids, the son of Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista was also in the building.
The SIM patrol cars were a strong presence in the corner of 13 y B.
Most of us fell sorry for Batista's son. He did not have any friends in the school.
The kids were all middle class and were strongly in favor of 26th of July Movement.
The rest is history.
