Dan Le Batard of the Miami Herald wrote (in my opinion) a very good column about his view of Cuba being allowed to play in the WBC. Obviously, in Miami, concern about Cuba is a much bigger issue than for someone like me living in Southern California.
I don't know if there was any satisfactory solution to the issue of Cuba playing in the WBC. Either you reward one of the most repressive countries in the world with a spot on the world stage or you leave out one of the countries where baseball is one of the most important sports in the country.
