CubaDugout on the Baseball Bucket List

Posted on by Phil Selig

The Baseball Bucket List podcast interviews baseball enthusiasts and insiders on what makes the game so special to them. I recently sat down with host Anna to discuss my journey to and through Cuban baseball culture. We talked about the genesis of CubaDugout and my short film ‘Have Malleta Will Travel’ which was screened at the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2017.

Check out our discussion and follow The Baseball Bucket List for fascinating chats with baseball lives you might have never explored before.

Scott Bolohan grew up outside of Detroit and is a long-time Tigers fan, who also has a soft spot for the Yankees, thanks to his job as a Yankee Stadium Tour Guide. Scott played baseball his whole life, even after suffering a UCL tear in high school, and still travels to Italy each year to play a tournament with his grad school team the Oxford Kings of the British Baseball Federation. Scott and Anna discuss the importance of the fundamentals, arm health, and the current state of youth baseball in America. They also chat about The Twin Bill – a quarterly baseball literary journal Scott started during the pandemic.  Read the full show notes and episode transcript here: https://baseballbucketlist.com/podcast/episode-147-scott-bolohan/Find Scott & The Twin Bill Online: Twitter: @thetwinbill | @scottbolohanInstagram: @thetwinbillWebsite: thetwinbill.comFind Baseball Bucket List Online:Twitter: @BaseballBucketFacebook: @BaseballBucketListInstagram: @Baseball.Bucket.ListWebsite: baseballbucketlist.comThis podcast is part of the Curved Brim Media Network:Twitter: @CurvedBrimWebsite: curvedbrimmedia.com—Join us in Boston on June 8th to see the Savannah Bananas at iconic Fenway Park!

My Short film ‘Have Malleta Will Travel’ was screened at the Cooperstown Hall of Fame in 2017. It resides in the Baseball Hall of Fame archive and chronicles my introduction to Cuban baseball. The title is a play on words with the Last Name Malleta bearing similarity to Maleta the Spanish noun for suitcase. Alexander Malleta would represent a unique bridge in playing for Industriales of Havana and in the Canam League in Ottawa. Join me as I share my unique baseball sojourn.
