Once again, the ball brought Cubans together, this time in Miami, during a sporting event organized by the Las Locuras de Miguelín project and La Familia Cubana at Tamiami Park.
For weeks, social media witnessed the preparation for this event featuring artists and content creators in that city, but what the organizers never imagined was that a wave of Cubans would fill the small stadium to enjoy this moment.
Justly, that was the reason that led the Miami-Dade Police to suspend the game. Although the event organizers obtained all the permits to hold the match, the stadium and its parking lot were overwhelmed by the influx of Cubans who came to enjoy the game.
Around 1,500 people gathered at the venue and the security planned for the event did not anticipate such a massive turnout.
Journalist Javier Díaz clarified in a report for Univisión that there were no altercations among the attendees at the game and that there was also a great deal of discipline. Authorities arrived at the scene because the high number of vehicles began to obstruct traffic in the area. The event's sponsors assured that they will organize another event of this kind in the future under better conditions.
If anything was demonstrated by this baseball game between the De La Vida team and La Familia Cubana, it is that Cubans, when they want to, can unite, enjoy to the fullest, share, and above all, put aside their differences and support their artists and influencers.
Let’s hope that the experience will be repeated very soon.
