Yunesky Maya, at 41, wants to continue making history in the World Classics. No one forgets those tears in 2006 in the most tense of situations when she represented Cuba from the mound.

But today he has surprised everyone by giving his willingness to play for the Dominican Republic in the elite event organized by the MLB for the nations, as shown in Twitter Sports Diamond.
The news is even more striking, even though at the beginning of this month he said no to the Cuban Baseball Federation.
As the baseball player himself confessed in a interview granted to YouTube channel «Luis Tomas In Sports»
“I respect everyone’s opinion. I was also called, I said no, that I did not agree to participate. The one who took the step like Roenis, like Céspedes, the other boys, I know that many have come out saying many things but, we are human. In truth, I am not in anyone’s brain, I am not in anyone’s thoughts, I simply act with what I think and I am simply not going to represent Cuba in the World Classic. I will see it from home, I will support them from there, I do not wish them harm either, I will support my colleagues wherever I am ».
Despite his seniority, he could contribute a lot to the Dominican Republic team, which will presumably be an all-star team, organized by Nelson Cruz and directed by Rodney Linares.
Currently in the LIDOM with the Águilas Cibaeñas, they have won three and only lost one challenge. His WHIP is 1.01.
