The feature story is about Yunel Escobar and the other five baseball players who took a raft from Cuba to Miami. The story includes updates about where all of them stand at this point in their lives as Americans/baseball players.

A guy at work is supposed to bring me this copy on Monday.  I signed up for it but still haven't got my first issue yet.  Chip and Pete were talking about it one day last week.

Just read that story on B-N. Great article right there, and sheds some light on what Cuban-born players have to go through.
