Jose Contreras reunited with family

For those who don’t follow major-league baseball, Jose Contreras is a starting pitcher for the New York Yankees. He’s also a Cuban refugee, who fled his native country almost two years ago. Happily, his wife and two daughters were reunited with him a few days ago after braving the hazardous crossing to Florida in a 31-foot boat, risking capture and detention by Cuban security forces. Nicaragua had twice granted visas to his family, but the Cuban government denied them.

If you want to know the truth about Cuba, I’d ask Contreras and his family, who risked life and limb escaping Castro’s communist nightmare, rather than Lenin’s “useful idiots” like Michael Moore or Chevy Chase.

Contreras reunited with wife, two daughters

Jose Contreras said he’s dreamed of showing his wife and daughters the sights of New York, from Yankee Stadium to the Empire State Building.

He finally has that opportunity.
