FILE - In this Sept. 2, 2014, file photo, Boston Red Sox's Yoenis Cespedes watches an RBI double off New York Yankees starting pitcher Shane Greene in a baseball game at Yankee Stadium in New York. Twenty-five Cuban-born players appeared in the major leagues this year, a group that includes outfielders Yasiel Puig and Cespedes, and hard-throwing reliever Aroldis Chapman.
