A collection of conversations and interviews with friends and peers in Miami and around the world, based on their life stories in music, the arts and self-development
Orestes Destrade is a retired baseball player, who had a special career in both the Major Leagues and in Japan. He got his start with the New York Yankees and Pittsburgh Pirates in the 1980s, before playing playing four memorable seasons in Japan, becoming a superstar with the Seibu Lions. He returned to the US as an important player for the Florida Marlins inaugural season in 1993, before finishing his playing career with the Lions.
Orestes has gone on to become a TV and radio broadcaster with the Tampa Bay Rays, where he now resides, and currently serves as a special advisor to the Seibu Lions.
We spoke about his experiences playing baseball and living in Japan, how his family arrived in Miami from Cuba, and how he sees baseball as a way to understanding Japanese culture.
It was an honor to speak with Orestes.
I hope you enjoy this conversation, and that there will be more to come in this series.
Banzai!
