Yes!! Cuba will play in The World Baseball Classic is going to happen after all!

The Bush Administration has decided to let Cuba participate in the World Baseball Classic, thereby ensuring that the World Baseball Classic would be sanctioned by the International Baseball Federation. It also averted fears of Puerto Rico dropping out, who said they would not play if Cuba was not allowed to participate.

However, it appears that Cuban defectors will not be playing for team Cuba. Regardless, it should be exciting to watch, I for one can't wait for it to start.
