The Cuban-American community is a target audience of the Marlins especially in the new ball park. I can't say whether a five-game suspension is right or wrong but I do know people in the Miami area that were personally affected by Castro including a woman whose husband was jailed for many years.

Red Sox radio said last night about half of Miami is Hispanic and of those maybe a third are Cuban. Wikipedia seems to say it's more than that (as in, one third of the whole pop. not just one third of Hispanic):

(Miami):>>As of 2010, the ethnic composition of Miami was as follows: 72.6% White (includes White Hispanic), 11.9% Non-Hispanic White...Hispanic or Latinos of any race made up 70.0% of the population. As of 2000, in terms of national origin and/or ethnic origin, 34.1% of the populace was Cuban

A famed Cuban pitcher (Red Sox etc): Luis Tiant
