Prominent Cuban baseball player Erly Casanova is facing an unimaginable tragedy as his wife passed away on Sunday, January 7th. The news has shaken the Cuban baseball community, with an outpouring of support and condolences flooding in for the renowned pitcher.
Just last December, Casanova reached a significant milestone in his career, achieving 100 victories in national tournaments. The Cazadores de Artemisa, a baseball team in Cuba, was among the first to extend their heartfelt condolences to Casanova and his family, acknowledging the immense pain and loss they are experiencing.
The Cuban Baseball Federation also expressed their support, sending a message of condolences and solidarity to Casanova during this difficult time. The federation emphasized their empathy for the player and his family, offering a heartfelt embrace from the entire Cuban baseball community.
Casanova’s dedication to the sport is well-recognized, and his absence from the Second Cuban Elite Baseball League has been attributed to his partner’s illness.

It is now clear that the player has other priorities to attend to in the wake of this tragic loss.
As messages of support continue to pour in from social media and baseball enthusiasts across Cuba, the community stands united in offering comfort and strength to Erly Casanova during this profoundly difficult time.
