The Cuban ballplayers that the press had falsely reported were in the Dominican Republic are safe in the Bahamas. Bahamian immigration officials confirmed that a fishing crew rescued the four baseball players and their coach in Bahamas waters, along with five other Cubans. The players had fled Cuba on March 10. If the Cubans had landed in the Dominican Republic, the Dominican government would be in a predicament as it has an agreement with the Cuban government to repatriate all illegal immigrants.
