Lloyd Sowers reports
TAMPA, Fla. - In 2016 in Cuba, the Tampa Bay Rays played baseball against a Cuban team with President Barack Obama and Cuban leader Raul Castro in attendance.
Tampa resident Mario Nunez traveled to the game and remembers the hope it brought to Cuban people in and outside of the country.
"I’ve never seen a more hopeful group of people," says Nunez, the grandson of Cuban cigar workers of immigrated to Tampa. "There was love everywhere."
Back then, Nunez believed the decades-old Cuban embargo would soon end, but his view now is much different.
