For years, Cuba has been a breeding ground for young baseball talent. So much so that one American sports agent was willing to risk his life to smuggle several players from Cuba into the United States.
Gustavo Dominguez and four others were charged earlier this week on 53 counts of smuggling. He pleaded not guilty.
According to Reuters, illegally transporting Cubans into the U.S. via Florida is commonplace and can be highly lucrative. If convicted, Dominguez could be sentenced to up to five years and be fined a maximum of $250,000.
