The Rays defeat the Cuban national team, 4 – 1, in a historic exhibition game played at Estadio Latinoamericano in Havana, Cuba. Presidents Barack Obama and Raul Castro are in attendance as the ballgame, which is the first by a major league team in Cuba since the 1999 Baltimore Orioles-Cuban National Team Exhibition Series, and only the second since the 1959 Cuban Revolution.

On March 22, 2016 — In a game attended by Barack Obama, the first sitting United States president on Cuban soil since 1928, the Rays beat the Cuban National team, 4-1, marking the first time in 17 years a major league team has visited the island nation. The historic exhibition game played at Estadio Latinoamericano in Havana, Cuba.

In 1999 at Havana’s Estadio, the Orioles edge the home team, 3-2, thanks to a Harold Baines’ eventual game-winning hit in the 11th inning. It is only the second since the 1959 Cuban Revolution.
