Vast Rally Hails Castro Fidel Castro's leadership of Cuba's masses is proved beyond dispute as vast numbers of machete-wielding peasants crowd into Havana for one of the greatest mass demonstrations ever staged in the western hemisphere, in response to his call. Castro speaks in typical dramatic fashion before huge crowds. Then, Castro puts aside politics and dons a baseball uniform to pitch a full inning in a special benefit game against an international league. The new president of Cuba (?) throws first pitch. Castro pitches, goes up to bat. (Advertisements in the stadium include Bacardi sign. Alcohol sponsorship.)
