Cuba beat Japan 4-0 in the final of the 2004 World Junior Baseball Championships, resulting in the Japanese starter that day ending the tournament 0-1 with a 7.11 ERA.
There's a good chance that Cuba will get another shot at that youngster, although things might not go so well this time around.
In the almost four years since that game, Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters pitcher Yu Darvish has taken the baseball world by storm, compiling a 43-16 (including this season) career record in Japanese baseball, a Sawamura Award, an MVP award and has helped his team win two Pacific League pennants and a Japan Series championship.
