President Obama and Cuban President Raul Castro take in a baseball game between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Cuban national team in Havana on March 22, 2016. The contest was just the second with an MLB team in Cuba since 1959. The 48-hour trip to Cuba makes history with Obama being the first sitting U.S. president to visit Cuba in almost 90 years.
