Top Cuban pitcher Chapman defects

NEW YORK (AP) -- A top Cuban pitching prospect with a 100 mph fastball has defected from the national team while playing in a tournament in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
ESPN The Magazine reports that several unidentified sources confirmed that Aroldis Chapman walked out of his hotel room and did not return.
Champman told cubaencuentro.com he was in Europe, but refused to reveal his location.
A source told ESPN that Chapman was scheduled to fly to Miami on Thursday.
The 21-year-old Chapman is considered by many scouts to be the No. 1 left-handed prospect in the world. He would be the most prominent Cuban baseball defector since Jose Contreras left during a tournament in Mexico in 2002.

How embarrassing for Cuba, the land of the free medical care and home of endless prosperity.

You will recall that Elian Gonzalez, the forcibly repatriated 6-year-old Cuban refugee, was the sole reason we avoided having Moonbat Algore in the White House.
W won Florida by a microscopic margin, after that famous "stormtrooper" photo gave him thousands of Florida votes he would not otherwise have received.

Unfortunately, our jug-eared Kenyan communist won't repeat that error.
Before he realizes he's lost his free medical care, this guy will be in pinstripes.
