Smoke reproduces hundreds of exquisite photographs, trading cards, handbills and other visual artifacts going back to the days when Cuban ballplayers, like their counterparts to the north, struck stony poses with handlebar mustaches and hightop shoes.
"A lot of the stuff was literally crumbling in his hands," Bjarkman says of Rucker's adventures in purchasing and copying memorabilia. "You see the cracks in some of these, and many of them have been greatly computer-enhanced. We have tried to create a pictorial record that's going to last."
Bjarkman and Rucker both hope Smoke will do more than help solidify Cuba's colorful baseball past. They'd like to contribute to its future. -- Indianapolis Star
