ON this date in 1951 - Fidel Castro was ejected from a Winter League baseball game after hitting a batter.

Cuban Mephistos' (opposing team) fans, Bun Man and Mr. Purple, were merciless in their rants against Fidel.

Bun yelled "Fidel, you're a bum! I haven't seen this poor a pitcher since the last time Congress threw a curve to the Americans."

Fidel later gave up baseball for politics.

Bun Man and Mr. Purple were never heard from again in Cuba.
