“Cubans caught their first glimpse of Orlando Hernandez on state television since he fled to the United States a decade ago as authorities aired a documentary in which the New York Mets pitcher vowed he was no traitor.

El Duque was among the Cuban players who defected to the United States interviewed as part of “Furea de Liga,” or “Out of This League,” a 68-minute film by Ian Padron which was released in 2004 but not seen until Saturday night on government-controlled television.”*
