The Cuban Poster Gallery appreciates your business. Our price for this photo poster is $149 We are delighted to offer this unusual piece of modern Latin American and Caribbean history -- a Cuban poster that reproduces a photo showing Cuban President FIDEL CASTRO and Venezuelan President HUGO CHAVEZ at a 1999 "old timers" baseball game at the Latinomericano stadium in Havana. Notably, the photo was taken by Fidel Castro's son, Alex Castro Soto del Valle, at this sold-out game in which Fidel Castro, then 73 years old, served as manager of the Cuban team and Hugo Chavez, 45, toiled for nine innings as a pitcher and first baseman on the Venezuelan team. The game received widespread coverage in the international media, including the BBC and New York Times, and was televised live in Cuba and Venezuela. According to media reports, Fidel Castro played a prank on Hugo Chavez by substituting the old timers on his Cuban team for members of his stellar national team, which had just won its third straight gold medal at the Pan American Games. Cuba squeaked past Venezuela, 5-4. The glossy poster in this listing, which measures approximately 20 by 13.5 inches (51 by 34 cm), was created by Cuba's cultural ministry as part of a portfolio that reproduced some of the most famous photos of the Cuban revolution. A short biography of photographer Alex Castro was printed on the back of the poster. Please see the photos we have posted. A historical note: Hugo Chávez forged a close relationship with Fidel Castro's communist government during its 14 years as Venezuela's socialist president, sending oil to the Caribbean island on extremely favorable terms. Chávez was treated for cancer frequently in Cuba before his death in Caracas on March 5, 2013. Fidel Castro died in 2016. The two leaders were among the most controversial in Latin American history, both loved and hated by their countrymen. Overall condition of this poster is good.
