Esquinta Caliente in Havana, Cuba
To the uninitiated, the sight of 30 or more Cuban men remonstrating loudly in a Havana park probably appears more like a malevolent mob than a spontaneous gathering of sports enthusiasts. But ask any of the aggrieved fist-shakers who frequent the boisterous Esquina Caliente (literally 'hot corner') in Parque Central what they're arguing about and you'll get back a rather innocuous reply: baseball.
While the Canadians debate hockey and the Brits bore each other with cricket statistics, the Cubans seek solace in baseball, a sport that inspires more saber-rattling than a May Day rally.
Havana's key baseball rivalry revolves around Los Industriales (the silverware-hogging Manchester United) and Los Metropolitanos (the less successful Manchester City), though the biggest debates are reserved for when the boys from Santiago roll into town and Havana's two sets of opposing supporters form a formidable - if temporary - alliance.
The 'hot corner' is the place to go if you want to discuss form, home runs or the chances of Livan Hernandez making a Cuban comeback. It runs from dawn till dusk 365 days a year and, in contrast to cricket, rain never stops play (instead the group reconvenes under the porch of the adjacent Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes).
