Anyone Know If The Oriental Race Track In Havana Is Still There?

It doesnt look too good, McVey.

of course i could have the wrong city or anything there. But everything on google seems to indicate that it is gone. Those pics if they are correct doesnt seem to indicate that it went all that long ago.

 

Enjoy your trip, and have a good time, mcvey.

 

At least you get to enjoy some of the best rum in the world with a fine cigar. Have fun mate... travel safe

 

Was reading up on this awhile ago, and no, nothing now exists apparently. You'd expect a plaque, considering it's historic significance. There's one at the site of Johnson-Jeffries, I remember from a documentary Barry Tomkins did at Reno. As you will be there anyway, would still be worth having a go, at least to track down the area the racetrack was. If you have the time.

 

Enjoy your trip Americans are finally able to also go back to Havana my brother was planning a trip I have to ask him how’s it going

 

Bring condoms.

 

Fidel may have a plaque for himself where in played baseball. It is likely he pitched in intramural competition in college for the University of Havana law school, but he was not good enough to pitch on the college's varsity team. See this Universal newsreel for a short clip of Castro battiing in a charity game in Cuba in 1959.
