US President Barack Obama will attend a baseball game during his historic visit to Cuba later this month, a symbolic show of friendship between the two nations, as confirmed by Ben Rhodes, a national security adviser for strategic communication for U.S. president.

What seemed improbable, will happen very soon. The president of the United States is going to Cuba. This will be the first official visit by a U.S. president after the triumph of the Cuban Revolution in 1959.

And as a symbol of normalizing diplomatic relations between the two countries, the Tampa Bay Rays, an American professional team, which competes in Major League Baseball, is going to play in Cuba on March 22 for the first time since the Baltimore Orioles did it in 1999, and President Barack Obama is expected to be present at the game.
