The former Major League Baseball player of Cuban origin Eduardo Perez invited the Cuban children to a McDonald’s.
In the video you can see Eduardo guiding the group of Cuban baseball players inside the famous and popular fast food chain.
This is an experience that the little Cuban athletes had never experienced before and the joy was visible on their faces.
After verifying that they had never been to McDonalds, absent from Cuban territory, Eduardo explained to the members of the Bayamo team the process to place the order.
The athletes learned quickly and were seen in the video eating the hamburgers, fries, helping themselves to soda from the machines and consuming the food with joy.
