About the New York Cubans
The New York Cubans were a (second) Negro National League franchise that played in New York City from 1935 through 1950. The franchise was owned by Alex Pompez (later a longtime New York Giants scout) and featured a heavily Cuban and Latin American roster — pioneering the Latin baseball talent pipeline that would transform MLB in the 1950s and 1960s. The Cubans won the 1947 Negro World Series, defeating the Cleveland Buckeyes 4 games to 1. Future MLB stars Minnie Miñoso, Orestes Miñoso, and Pat Scantlebury all played for the Cubans.
After Major League Baseball's December 16, 2020 reclassification of the seven Negro Leagues operating between 1920 and 1948 as major leagues, every NLB-era player from this franchise is now an MLB-recognized major leaguer.
