Already heralded in the US as Cuba's best pitcher before his flight to freedom several years ago, his story will make a terrific movie someday. While he's waiting for that to happen, though, he can pass the time by counting his World Series rings--when he landed in America, he also landed in the lap of the mighty Yankees. Hollywood couldn't have scripted it. In 2006, he added a fourth World Championship as a member of the Chicago White Sox. Pictured is his card from the 2000 Pacific Aurora set. More cards are shown below the stats box.
