HAVANA - No Greg Maddux or Andruw Jones for this game. Still, former President Carter was going to the ballpark to watch Cuban all-stars Tuesday night, and Fidel Castro was expected to tag along. <br> <br> Carter, a native of Plains, says the game ``may be the high point of my visit.&#39;&#39; He says he and his wife are fanatic followers of the Atlanta Braves. <br> <br> The game will be held after one of Carter&#39;s most important events during his five-day visit, which began Sunday. Earlier this evening, Carter was giving a speech to the Cuban people that was to be broadcast live across the island. <br> <br> Castro&#39;s government had earlier invited Carter to attend a game during his visit, but he didn&#39;t confirm until after he arrived on the island.
