Playing America's Game

In this benchmark study on Latinos and professional baseball from the 1880s to the present, Adrian Burgos tells a compelling story of the men who negotiated the color line at every turn: passing as "Spanish" in the major leagues, or seeking respect and acceptance in the Negro leagues. Although largely ignored by historians of both baseball in general and the Negro leagues in particular, Latinos have been a significant presence in professional leagues from the beginning. Burgos delves into archival materials from the U.S., Cuba, and Puerto Rico and draws on Spanish- and English-language publications, as well as interviews with Negro league and major league players to argue for the centrality of Latinos to the story of race in baseball.
