The CIA spotted Russians in Cuba thanks to soccer fields. The Cubans preferred to play baseball, not soccer.
In 1962, a CIA consultant became concerned when he saw soccer fields in Cuba and he pointed out that Cubans like baseball, but that it was the Russians who preferred soccer. He even found the possible location of a Soviet military base. But Kennedy wanted to get hard proof, so he approved U2 flights over Cuba. As a result, he got the photos that started the Cuban Missile Crisis.
