Granma returns solidly to Cuban baseball campaign

Bayamo, March 8 (JIT) - The Alazanes de Granma announced a strong roster for the 62nd National Baseball Series, which is scheduled to begin on March 22 at its Mártires de Barbados stadium against the Cocodrilos de Matanzas.

The list, which includes such stellar players as Alfredo Despaigne and Roel Santos, among others, includes 10 rookies and 15 players under 23 years of age, which speaks of its gradual renewal with quality.

Other outstanding figures are Iván Prieto, Guillermo Avilés, Carlos Benítez, Osvaldo Abreu, Raico Santos, Alexquemer Sánchez, Leandro Martínez, César García, Yoel Mogena and others.

Abreu, the first-time captain, highlighted in his words the integration of the rookies and predicted another triumph for the territory.

Leonardo Soto, first-time mentor, acknowledged that "we have a great commitment, we are the champions and we are aware that we must maintain our discipline, dedication and desire to win. It is not easy, but we have always succeeded.

Carlos Martí, outgoing manager of the team, commented emotionally that "this team has won four championships in a decade, it has maintained the rhythm and its renewal to defend the cause of the province. I hope it will be maintained, there is youth and experience, and the work will continue. We will not be on the bench, but we will be supporting the team in the next victory". 

Francisco Alexis Escribano Cruz, governor of the province, attended the team's presentation meeting along with other authorities of the Cuban Communist Party, Inder and its National Baseball Commission.
