Four legends of Cuban baseball, all former stars of the Industriales team, gathered in Miami in a reunion hosted by the renowned René Arocha.
"We remain the same despite the passing years; we will always be lifelong friends: Euclides Rojas, Osvaldo Fernández (El Zurdo), Pablo Abreu, and myself," Arocha shared on his Facebook wall. He jokingly added, "Pablito, please stay seated."
The four former national team pitchers, who left Cuba many years ago to start new lives abroad, continue to gather as if no time has passed. According to sports journalist Yasel Porto on Facebook, Arocha "always finds a way to bring together baseball figures to reminisce wonderful moments and create new memories that strengthen bonds."
Dozens of fans expressed their admiration for the four Cuban baseball stars, thanking them for the unforgettable moments they provided to the fans, especially those in the capital. "The cream of the crop," said comedian Ulises Toirac.
"Our generation owes so much to you for the joy and fervor of being a lifelong Industriales fan," noted a Cuban from Spain. "A quartet to be respected!" exclaimed another Havana resident. "Any team with those four would win," emphasized a U.S. resident.
In August, René Arocha shared another photo featuring these historic Leones figures, along with two other former team members who also live outside Cuba: Agustín Marquetti and Ángel Leocadio Díaz. "All with blue blood," Arocha captioned the image.
