businessman is collecting baseball equipment to hand out to kids in Cuba and the Dominican Republic who want to play the beautiful game. “Baseball is a joy — for the kids (and) for their families,” he told Postmedia News on Thursday. He’s seen kids in the small towns near Cayo Santa Maria, Cuba, changed by the game. On his trip, Finnie will stop in Puerto Rico to see the work Blue Jays Hall of Fame player Robbie Alomar is supporting in his home country. “Both Cuba and Dominican have hundreds of young, enthusiastic baseball players who are in desperate need of equipment,” said Krause.
