The Duke of Havana: Baseball, Cuba, and the Search for the American DreamThe Duke of Havana is the inside story of Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez, fallen hero of the Cuban revolution. Banned by the Castro government for plotting to defect and shunned by Cuban society, the finest pitcher in Cuba's history fearlessly turned his internal exile into a political crusade. He ultimately escaped his country in a twenty four foot boat and, nine months later, triumphed in the World Series with the New York Yankees. Present throughout
The Duke of Havana is the inside story of Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez, fallen hero of the Cuban revolution. Banned by the Castro government for plotting to defect and shunned by Cuban society, the finest pitcher in Cuba's history fearlessly turned his internal exile into a political crusade. He ultimately escaped his country in a twenty-four-foot boat and, nine months later, triumphed in the World Series with the New York Yankees. Present throughout his story are the immensely talented Cuban players whose lives reflect the slow death of Cuban socialism. Also present is the Castro-hating Miami-based sports agent Joe Cubas, whose audacious, secret plots have transformed him into a major political figure in the Cuban exile community's relentless war to topple Castro. These personal stories illuminate the rising political and social tensions in Cuba, the growing status of the Catholic Church in the country's affairs, major league baseball's astonishingly corrupt system for recruiting players, its systematic violation of the U.S. trade embargo against Cuba, and the historic role of baseball in U.S.-Cuba relations. Reported in the United States and Cuba by two award-winning journalists who became part of the story they were reporting, The Duke of Havana is a riveting story of sports, politics, and greed.Binding Type: Paperback

STA-BIL Start Your Engines! Because Sometimes Engines Need a Pep Talk
Size: 2 fl oz
So, STA-BIL Start Your Engines! is basically that friend who shows up uninvited but actually saves the day. You know, the one who doesn’t ask questions and just gets your engine running when it’s feeling moody or sluggish.
Does it work? Of course it does. Like, “put a little in your gas tank, say a quick prayer, and voila!” kind of work. Suddenly your car remembers how to start, and you feel like a mechanic genius without actually lifting a wrench.
It’s simple, it’s reliable, and it doesn’t judge you for letting your gas sit around until it gets that “I don’t want to cooperate” attitude.
Pros:
Makes your engine start like it just had an espresso shot.
Easy to use — even if you’re barely awake in the morning.
No weird smells or smoke signals, just clean, smooth starting.
Cons:
Won’t fix your “I forgot to put gas in” problem.
Sadly, can’t make your car drive itself to work (yet).
You might start relying on it a little too much — hey, no judgment.
Final Verdict:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – 5 stars.
If your engine is feeling lazy, this stuff just works. It’s like a pep talk in a bottle for your car. Highly recommended for anyone who’s ever cursed their ignition.

Cleans Out Working Carburetors
Size: 2 fl oz
I recommend this product for engines that will in fact start but not run well. I highly recommend it for that specific purpose, which it is designed for. It cleans the inner workings of the carburetor. Of course, you will have a cleaner carburetor if you take it apart and clean it with proper tools and a proper carburetor cleaner.
You spray it in the gas tank, start the engine, and let it run a bit. It will not start an engine with a totally plugged up carburetor. Nothing is going to do that. Nor is it a fuel stabilizer, as one previous reviewer seemed to think. Nor is it a product to be used to bring life back to stale gasoline, as another reviewer seemed to think. The only thing to do with stale gasoline is drain it out and pitch it. Nor is it a product to be used for cleaning a carburetor you have taken apart to clean. You should use a proper carburetor cleaner for that purpose.
I've given it four stars because it cleans out mildly plugged up carbs. It is not a miracle solution for really neglected carbs as the name suggests.
