What are you donated have video it and at VCRs and dvds in 1961 when you left Cuba. You go back 46 years later and there's all kinds of basic -- it was amazing -- was the the people talking about your father by her father was a legend not only there in Cuba. But in the negro leagues here in America. As a lefty he was just unbelievable I gotta tell you might -- my favorite parts of a movie was when you're out to the mound when -- he comes to America. And he comes up that amount review and you hold his jacket. And he's weren you know street shoes and and -- and nice pants and a hat and he takes the ball from the mound and he just throws it right over the plate that got. I was unbelievable moment of that movie.
