Cuban baseball league was the first official baseball league in the world. And it has 4 teams, which are Almendares, Cienfuegos, Habana, and Marianao. Even though Cuba has its own national league, most Cuban baseball players dream to go to Major League. And many Cuban baseball players go to the United States, even though they usually start in Minor League.It is because if you become a star player in Major League teams, you get enormous amount of money. This money cannot even be compared to money earned from Cuban league.
Since Cuba has lots of Major League star players, they are one of the best teams. They call themselves as the best team in the world. Also, Cuba is in the 1st place of IBAF (International Baseball Federation) world ranking. (Jan., 2011) Compared to the United States, there are really no big difference.
