Cuba is in!
"Working closely with World Baseball Classic Inc. and the State Department, we were able to reach a licensable agreement that upholds both the legal scope and the spirit of the sanctions," Treasury spokeswoman Molly Millerwise said.
"This agreement ensures that no funding will make its way into the hands of the Castro regime. The Treasury is pleased to now be able to issue this license and looks forward to seeing all of the teams showcase their talents on the international stage."
Details here.
Because heaven forbid any money should make it's way to the Castro regime. Why, there might not be enough for Halliburton and the rest of the Bush cronies otherwise.
Anyway, despite Treasury hack Millerwise's spin, this is great news.
Since 1949, Durhamites have slept soundly, secure in the knowledge that, in our town, erection can be depended upon. Now, thanks to the power of the internets, we can spread that security all over the world.

What a load. Letting Cuba in only puts pressure on Castro. I'm sure some of the players will be tempted to bolt for the big bucks of New York and Boston.
