1950-51 Acebo album featuring photos of every player for all 4 teams in the Cuban Professional League. Many of the images were used on the Acebo cards produced a year earlier.

The highlight is a young Willie Mays pictured in an Almendares uniform before he'd ever played a game in the Majors.

There are numerous Negro Leaguers and other important player featured including: Ray Dandridge (HOF), Orestes Minoso, Quincy Trouppe, Adolfo Luque, Miguel Gonzalez, Hoyt Wilhelm (HOF), Cocaina Garcia, Tommy Lasorda, Terris McDuffie, Lennie Pearson, Silvio Garcia, and Billy Herman.

An interesting piece featuring 2 HOFers before their first Major League appearance.
