Five games into his tenure with the burberry handbags Miami Marlins, the outspoken manager Ozzie Guillen is facing withering criticism because of favorable comments he made about the former Cuban dictator Fidel Castro.
At least two local officials said Guillen should lose his job, Miami’s mayor urged “decisive action,” and the chairman of the Florida Hispanic Legislative Caucus called for “punitive measures” against him.

Guillen, who is from Venezuela, told Time magazine that he loved Castro and respected him for having stayed in power so long.
