THE CASTRO CLAN
After the Second War To End All Wars a young Cuban amateur baseball player came to New York City and tried out for the New York Yankees baseball team.
His name was Fidel Castro. Fidel did well and got a spot as a relief pitcher making a good income on the high side of five figures. He was a master of the sinker, the curve ball and the fastball. He moved up and became one of the first million dollar a year men in baseball. Castro started a family and raised five sons named Angel, Alejandro, Alexis, Alex and Antonio Castro. Endorser on TV of everything from that shaving cream to beer to automobiles, Fidel rose to pitching coach, manager, general manager and eventually he bought a fifty one percent stake in the team. He also took a keen interest along with his sons in the New York taxi medallion market.
Fidel Castro is usually seen in his trademark New York Yankee uniform. Number One.
Over the course of a decade the Castro brothers came to dominate the yellow taxi medallion industry which they run like a cartel. Everyone says that the Taxi Commission is in their pocket. Fidel is a sharp and witty ninety year old who rubs elbows with the literati and glitterati, with the machas, the movers and the shakers. His sons ain't teenagers and they also get around, but not like their baseball famous dad.
Alejandro owns Pleasant Avenue Yellow by the way.
