Wayland Patch 8/29/12: Cuban Ballplayers Take the Field in Wayland. Michael Eizenberg saw several years worth of work come to fruition last week as Cuban ballplayers arrived in Massachusetts for a series of Friendship Games. Eizenberg stood Aug. 24 at Cochituate Field in Wayland and watched as Cuban ballplayers played a pickup game with members of the Eastern Massachusetts Senior Softball (EMASS) league. The Cuban players arrived in the U.S. the day before as the first such team permitted to come to the states in more than 50 years, according to an EMASS press release.
