Publisher's Summary: From Hall of Famers Luís Aparicio and Roberto Clemente to current stars Roberto Alomar and José Canseco, many of baseball's finest players have hailed from Latin America. Béisbol is the comprehensive yet entertaining history of the game's development in Mexico, Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and other countries. In addition to profiling great Latino players, Béisbol examines the racism that kept some early stars out of the major leagues, and the cultural barriers faced by Latin Americans playing in the U.S. and Canada. Baseball has thrived in Latin America for more than a century, and Béisbol serves as an authoritative source on these countries' immense contributions to the Grand Old Game. |
