From 1900 through the 1940s early Latino baseball players suffered discrimination, poor accommodations, low pay and homesickness to play a game they loved. Building on what we know about the careers of these pioneer players, Nick Wilson draws on primary documents and interviews to round out our knowledge of them as people. Organized by decade, this book presents new information on the players who came before baseball's great Latin explosion.
