This work traces New Mexican baseball from its beginnings in the West of Billy the Kid and Geronimo to today's modern game. Set against the background of the state's remarkable beauty and many cultures are stories of teams of miners, Native Americans, Hispanos, bomber pilots, outlawed major leaguers, prisoners, record setters and others. From the territory's earliest base ballists to today's AAA Albuquerque Isotopes, baseball has flourished on the high desert diamonds of the 47th state.
