Reviews
Unlike John Krich's survey of all Latin America in El Beisbol ( LJ 5/1/89), this looks only at the half-island nation which sent Hall of Famer Juan Marichal and other stars to the big leagues. Ruck ( Sandlot Seasons: Sport in Black Pittsburgh, LJ 1/15/87) traces baseball's 100 years there against the story of foreign economic domination and Trujillo repression. Though expensive for some libraries, this is a valuable study and should be in all serious collections.
