By the 1954-55 season, most of the uber-talented Cuban players had made their way to the United States. Following integration, new opportunities and a bigger stage was a big draw. The Cuban League managed to hang on, but the luster was gone and as such, images are extremely rare with this 1954 team photo of the Almendares club being no exception. Condition and quality are both outstanding and the image has 19 members in uniform, each of which is identified and a list comes with the photo. Includes Rocky Nelson, Hector Rodriguez, Gus Triandos, and others.
