What's strange about it? It's just an exchange of applause. They have not stopped supporting their Tigers in the history of our Baseball National Series. It is normal then that the sports movement in Ciego de Avila applauds them in these 30 years in that difficult and important sport that is the economy.

The applause is even more understandable if one takes into account that squad number six, from the Nguyen Van Troi Basic Cooperative Production Unit (UBPC), in the Baraguá municipality, has accumulated eight millionaire titles. They smile when the journalist reminds them that there are five more trophies than those achieved by the beasts led by Roger Machado.

However, without dismounting from his KTP team, Irenaldo Gómez Rojas is not one of those who likes to give victory in advance and assures that the task of the current harvest is very difficult. “It is true that this year we are a little better than the previous one, but we will have to continue fighting against the material difficulties that are a threat to meet our goals.

Irenaldo, along with his brother Osvaldo, during the visit of the Provincial Sports Directorate, barely had time to talk with the visitors, "it is that here one has to make the most of it and even more so if now we cut a cane that has a performance up close of 100 tons per hectare”.

This UBPC has 110 workers, 16 of them in Squad 6. It is true that the work there is from dawn to dusk, as it is also true that there is an atmosphere of teamwork, of unity. It would not be surprising if at the end of the contest we visit this "cane stadium" again to celebrate the ninth millionaire crown, even if someone, very quiet, so that the journalist would not listen, murmured: "And the fourth of Los Tigres for when?"
