Contreras and El Duque recall Cuba

Their loneliness for their home country, while all the other Latin American players can fly home after the season's done, is very sad. Jose Contreras and Orlando 'El Duque' Hernandez take comfort in playing baseball. Via CubaNet, USA Today has a great story about how the two White Sox baseball pitchers cope, keeping each others' presence - and even side-by-side lockers - in their exile. The only person responsible for their isolation from homeland is Cuba's cold vindictive dictator who clings to his grudges like tar.
