One of Cuba's grandest baseball legends reaches another significant milestone when Conrado Marrero (born April 25, 1911) turns a robust ninety-nine in the spring of 2010. The last living Cuban big leaguer from pre-revolution days has been quietly residing at the modest Havana apartment of his grandson Rogelio for most of the past decade. While well into his late eighties, the indefatigable island legend was still serving as a part-time pitching coach for the Cuban League team in Granma Province. His last notable public appearance came when he tossed a ceremonial first pitch for the landmark May 1999 Team Cuba-Baltimore Orioles exhibition match in Havana's equally venerable Latin American Stadium.
