In Havana, the esquina caliente, or “hot corner,” is a place where baseball fans gather to discuss, debate, and even yell at each other. It’s like sports talk radio, but in person and passionate to an extreme.

Team Cuba hasn’t performed well in recent international events, but these fans are hopeful the incorporation of active MLB players to the national team’s roster for the first time can improve the squad’s chances in the upcoming World Baseball Classic.
