The New York Cubans were a Negro league baseball team that played during the 1930s and from 1939 to 1950. Despite playing in the Negro leagues, the team occasionally employed white-skinned Hispanic baseball players as well, because Hispanics players were generally ignored by the Major League Baseball teams before Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in Major League Baseball.
