Cano Vega was a Cuban-born baseball player and, according to almost everyone, future Hall of Famer. Unfortunately, Beckett, a rabid baseball fan, never got to met him in life, and she and Castle, along with Esposito and Ryan comb the scene where his body turns up, looking for clues. Cano was apparently taken out with a baseball bat, and as they dig into his life, there are a number of candidates for the 'swinger'. His wife, Maggie loved him dearly, and he was a hero to the Cuban-American community, for defying the Castro regime, and for his work among the less fortunate.

  • Cano Vega was a Cuban-born baseball player and, according to almost everyone, future Hall of Famer. Unfortunately, Beckett, a rabid baseball fan, never got to met him in life, and she and Castle, along with Esposito and Ryan comb the scene where his body turns up, looking for clues. Cano was apparently taken out with a baseball bat, and as they dig into his life, there are a number of candidates for the 'swinger'. Cano had defected from Cuba some eighteen years earlier, with the invaluable help of his soon-to-be agent, Bobby Fox. He arrived in the States and began a glorious career, filled with accolades, and had a happy home life too, seemingly. His wife, Maggie loved him dearly, and he was a hero to the Cuban-American community, for defying the Castro regime, and for his work among the less fortunate. Then, very recently, he went on a trip back to Cuba, shook hands with the dictator, and fell from his pedestal. His former supporters, such as Alfredo Quintana, felt betrayed, and pilloried him in the press. Maggie felt a rift developing between them, and feared for her marriage. No one seemed to know what was going on in Cano's head anymore. Cano, in fact, borrowed $200,000 from a loan shark, Anton Wade, for reasons he didn't go into, and the next thing anyone knew, he turned up dead in the practice park named after him. Bobby Fox, it seems, had been keeping a massive secret from Cano, and when the player threatened to go public with Fox's links to the Cuban regime, and the fact that he'd arranged for Cano's girlfriend to be imprisoned, then lied and told him she changed her mind, Fox took the nearest available tool, a baseball bat, and silenced him forever. Eventually, Castle and Beckett discovered that the money was to get his daughter Lara Blanco to America from Cuba. After the murder was solved and Castle and Beckett learned about Lara's existence, they introduced her to Maggie who took her in for Cano's sake as she had no one else.
