Jose Vilela fled Cuba for the United States when he was 14 years old after spending six months in a concentration camp. Like many of his compatriots, he settled in Miami's Cuban neighborhood, Little Havana.
Vilela, now 68, paced Sunday afternoon outside loanDepot Park, the Miami Marlins' home stadium, where the Cuban national baseball team was set to face the United States for a spot in the World Baseball Classic hours later.
