Lively and filled with vivid anecdotes, Viva Baseball! chronicles
the struggles of Latin American professional baseball players in
the United States from the late 1800s to the present. As Latino
players, managers, and owners continue to blossom into baseball's
biggest stars, they have benefited from a growing Spanish-language
media, a group identity, an increase in financial leverage and
attention, and a burgeoning Latino culture in the United States.
Although there have been several positive developments in the
treatment of Latin American players, many, such as Albert Pujols,
Pedro Martinez, Alex Rodriguez, and Ozzie Guillen, still face
shocking racism. Samuel O. Regalado draws upon archives and rich
interviews with Latin baseball stars like Felipe Alou, Orlando
Cepeda, and Minnie Minoso to show the changing tenor of
discrimination in the twenty-first-century game.
