President Barack Obama plans to attend the Tampa Bay Rays' exhibition game in Cuba on March 22. Ben Rhodes, deputy national security adviser for strategic communications and speechwriting, tweeted the news Tuesday after Major League Baseball and the players' association announced arrangements had been finalized for the game against the Cuban National Team in Havana. ''It adds a great dimension to the trip, and it's going to shine an even greater spotlight on the events and on Major League Baseball,'' Rays President of Baseball Operations Matt Silverman said.
