Hosted by Adam Darowski of Baseball Reference, Building the Ballot covers takes a deep dive into candidates for the Baseball Hall of Fame’s Era Committees. The Era Committee process replaced the old Veterans Committee process for the 2011 election. This podcast covers the Classic Baseball Era (beginning of time until 1979) and the Contemporary Baseball Era (1980 to present, split into a players ballot and a non-players ballot).

S1E17: The Best Players You’ve Never Heard Of — Cuban Baseball with Gary Ashwill of Seamheads

There’s one more episode I wanted to do before moving on to the next election cycle. When researching the Negro Leagues, the Pre-Negro Leagues, and Negro League MLEs, something kept coming up—Cuban baseball. It’s hard to talk about the Negro Leagues without including Cuban baseball. Today’s guest, Gary Ashwill of the Seamheads Negro League Database, will share stories about Cuban baseball and some of the major stars who were born in Cuba. We’ll discuss Julián Castillo, Carlos Morán, Regino García, Ramón Bragaña, Lázaro Salazar, José Muñoz, Silvio García, and more.
