Some of the best players in Major League Baseball were born outside
the United States, with Latino players representing one of the
fastest growing ethnicities in the league. Current and former stars
such as Albert Pujols, Rod Carew, and Miguel Cabrera all found
incredible success in MLB. They have won major awards, guided their
teams to the postseason, played in All-Star games, and an elite few
have been enshrined in the Baseball Hall of Fame. Latino Stars in
Major League Baseball: From Bobby Abreu to Carlos Zambrano
celebrates the ever-increasing diversity of baseball in America. It
includes more than 140 in-depth profiles of retired and active
ballplayers representing countries across Latin America and the
Caribbean. For many of these players, the road to "The Show" wasn't
easy-discrimination, poverty, language barriers, and government
restrictions are major obstacles that Latino players have faced in
the past and continue to face today. Author Jonathan Weeks covers
these struggles and more in the profiles, showing the players'
strength, resiliency, and ultimately, their rise to the top of
professional baseball. Latino Stars in Major League Baseball is a
definitive collection of the best and brightest Latino stars both
past and present. Full of colorful anecdotes and inspiring stories,
this book provides a rich understanding of Latino players' impact
on baseball in the United States.
