Major League Baseball today would be unrecognizable without the
large number of Latin American players and managers filling its
ranks. Their strong influence on the sport can trace its beginnings
to professional leagues established south of the border over six
decades ago. This narrative history of Latin American baseball
leagues during the 1940s and 1950s provides an in-depth,
year-by-year chronicle of seasonal leagues in the seven primary
baseball-playing areas in the region: Mexico, the Caribbean, Cuba,
the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Nicaragua and Panama. The
success of these leagues, and their often acrimonious competition
with U. S. Organized Baseball, eventually ushered in a new era of
contract concessions from owners and general labor advancements for
players that forever changed the game.
