NO, I don't think so, How about a great, great, day. Maybe now his brother will do
better with the older bother gone.
Sounds like the perfect site for Rutgers to play a neutral site game.
Maybe the 2017 Maryland game can be moved there instead of at Yankee Stadium.[banana]:cool2:
Again ? Aren't you a little old to believe in such fairy tales as "hell" ?
Do you still leave milk and cookies out for Santa Claus ?
Geez.
Back in the Cold War days Castro wanted USSR to nuke US..

Don't think it really changes anything there as long as his brother is still alive and maybe a military dictatorship after that...so those people are still pretty much screwed.
I think I would actually chose Cuba over Yankee Stadium. Maybe we could actually see the field there.
Yeah....right.
Was this before or after our fifteenth plot to kill him ?
It's not like the USA had any nuclear weapons capable of wiping out the Soviet Union..... in Turkey....as close to the USSR as Cuba is to the USA.
If this were a just world, 13 facts would be etched on Castro’s tombstone and highlighted in every obituary, as bullet points — a fitting metaphor for someone who used firing squads to murder thousands of his own people.
●He turned Cuba into a colony of the Soviet Union and nearly caused a nuclear holocaust.
●He sponsored terrorism wherever he could and allied himself with many of the worst dictators on earth.
●He was responsible for so many thousands of executions and disappearances in Cuba that a precise number is hard to reckon.
●He brooked no dissent and built concentration camps and prisons at an unprecedented rate, filling them to capacity, incarcerating a higher percentage of his own people than most other modern dictators, including Stalin.
●He condoned and encouraged torture and extrajudicial killings.
●He forced nearly 20 percent of his people into exile, and prompted thousands to meet their deaths at sea, unseen and uncounted, while fleeing from him in crude vessels.
●He claimed all property for himself and his henchmen, strangled food production and impoverished the vast majority of his people.
●He outlawed private enterprise and labor unions, wiped out Cuba’s large middle class and turned Cubans into slaves of the state.
●He persecuted gay people and tried to eradicate religion.
●He censored all means of expression and communication.
●He established a fraudulent school system that provided indoctrination rather than education, and created a two-tier health-care system, with inferior medical care for the majority of Cubans and superior care for himself and his oligarchy, and then claimed that all his repressive measures were absolutely necessary to ensure the survival of these two ostensibly “free” social welfare projects.
●He turned Cuba into a labyrinth of ruins and established an apartheid society in which millions of foreign visitors enjoyed rights and privileges forbidden to his people.
●He never apologized for any of his crimes and never stood trial for them.
