Photographer Byron Motley premiered his "Viva Cuba Beisbol" series at the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y., on May 23. The exhibit, which documents the cultural impact of baseball in Cuba, will run through January 2010.
Motley, a Los Angeles-based singer, filmmaker, photographer and author, has produced two albums and co-authored his father's memoir on life in the African-American baseball league throughout the 1940s. He is currently working on a Negro League documentary with "A League of Their Own" producer Penny Marshall.
