Trinidad Baseball, Trinidad, Cuba, 1999

Children play baseball in the colonial heart of Trinidad, Cuba. Without a railroad until 1919 or a highway until the 1950s, Trinidad was isolated from the rest of Cuba and the rest of the world—a fate that enabled it to be declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1988.
