As a supporting player, he was a better general! However, in his youth, this future political leader who revolutionized his country was a player in the 1946 Xavier Cugat film, "Holiday in Mexico".

Who was he?

Fred Thompson (No idea, just trying to guess by the second clue but after re-reading the first clue, my answer sounds pretty far off base...:shrug:

I'm thinking Bay of Pigs huh? Not an invader, but a defender huh? Wants to be our friend now huh?

I think James is right. That would be the famous baseball player/actor Fidel Castro.

[Richard King]

it's just a shame that he wasn't signed to a major league contract in the mid '50's or so. :D

If only he had a former drug problem or played for the Mets, the Yankees would have picked him up......
