    What team did Fidel Castro try out for?

    		Castro once went to a tryout camp for the Washington Senators. He was a scatter-armed, curveball pitcher and was cut.

    		A long-standing myth in America is that Castro tried out for either the New York Yankees or Washington Senators and missed the team; while a fan of baseball, Castro was not a good enough player to warrant such a try-out and there is no record of having his played professionally. It is likely he pitched in intramural competition in college for the University of Havana law school, but he was not good enough to pitch on the college's varsity team.
