Cuba plans donation if allowed in Classic
By Anne-Marie Garcia, The Associated Press

HAVANA — Hours after U.S. baseball officials reapplied

received at the tournament to hurricane victims.

Officials from Major League Baseball and the Major
League Baseball Players Association reapplied Thursday
to the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign
Assets Control, seeking permission for Cuba to play in
the 16-team tournament, scheduled for March 3-20.
