Cubaball is the passion of Kit Krieger. Kit, 58, pitched for the Vancouver Mounties of the Pacific Coast League

in 1968 and was a prominent baseball memorabilia collector in the 1970s and 1980s, known for his ability to turn up vast quantities of 1952 Topps high numbers. He first visited Cuba in 1997 and fell in love with the island and its people.

Cubaball offers a remarkable and unique experience for baseball fans and aficionados. Your Cuban stadium visits evoke baseball before free agency, exploding scoreboards and commercialism. Cubaball’s founder, Kit Krieger, views Cuban baseball as a blend of the Negro Leagues and pre-World War I baseball. Teams and players are deeply rooted in their communities and Cuban athletes overtly display their love of the game.

Cubaball explores the island’s baseball past and present. Tours feature attendance at games of the National Series in several stadiums in various provinces. We visit sites dedicated to the rich lore of Cuban baseball and meet with officials and players from the Cuban League. Highlights include a visit to the storied Stadium, where the great stars of the Negro leagues played prior to the integration of major league baseball. We meet the legendary Cuban pitcher, Conrado Marrero, now 96, and the last surviving major league player in Cuba.

Tour participants experience Cuban culture at its best. We visit landmark sites in several cities, enjoy music, dance and other entertainment, and learn about the social realities of contemporary Cuba. Cubaball offers an unparalled access to Cuba’s national sport.

Tours are limited to 25 participants. Only one tour is taken annually. Don’t miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
