Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. Victor Baldizon (color photographs); National Base (illustrator). xvii, [3], 266, [2] pages. Foreword by Bob Costas. Introduction. Nine chapters, entitled innings. The Latino All-Century Team. Selected Bibliography. Index. Minor DJand Page 1 soiling. Tim Wendel (born 1956 Philadelphia) is an American writer whose books include narrative nonfiction and several novels. Those works include Summer of '68, Cancer Crossings, High Heat, Buffalo, Home of the Braves, and the popular sports novel Castro's Curveball. His stories and columns have appeared in many newspapers and magazines such as The New York Times, National Geographic, Esquire, USA Today, and Washington Post, among others. He has been awarded the Professional Achievement Award and the Award for Teaching Excellence from Johns Hopkins University, both three times. Featuring material on Roberto Clemente, Fernando Valenzuela, and Sammy Sosa, as well as interviews with Latino superstars past and present -- such as Alex Rodriguez, Ivan Rodriguez, Mariano Rivera,and Alfonso Soriano -- The New Face of Baseball helps fans of America's favorite pastime to understand the history of those who bring hope and honor every season to the teams they have given their lives to, and the Hispanic culture that, if allowed, can lie hidden and unnoticed under a team jersey. With a foreword by Bob Costas, the first-ever-published Latino All-Century Team featuring players selected by Omar Minaya, and photos taken by award-winning Sports Illustrated photographer Victor Baldizon, this important book is sure to make as much of a splash a the Latino players themselves -- the new faces of baseball. For decades, Americans have been fascinated by the complexity and rich history of baseball. No other sport has captivated so many fans. The New Face of Baseball explores a different chapter in baseball's chronicles, one often ignored but remarkably influential. Into the tapestry of baseball history, Tim Wendel weaves the stories of its Latino athletes -- who they are and how they helped transform the sport into what it is today. Going as far back as the mid-nineteenth century, to the early days of Cuban baseball, Wendel traces the spread of American baseball fever in the Caribbean and Mexico, and discusses lesser-known historical standouts, including Adolfo Luque, the first Hispanic to play in the World Series (in 1923), and Martin Dihigo, a black Cuban whom many baseball insiders consider the greatest ballplayer of all time. Wendel masterfully describes the days when only light-skinned Latinos were allowed to participate in Major League competition, much like their inspirational African American counterparts, and the linguistic barrier Latinos were confronted with when playing on teams with "English-only" rules inside their dugouts. Derived from a Kirkus review: An overview of the contribution Latinos have made to the game of baseball. No one who watches the game can doubt that Latino players bring a hustle and flash to baseball. It is a style of baseball's mythical past, writes journalist and novelist Wendel, "and that is how we are beginning to see it played more and more here today, thanks to the flow of talent coming from Latino countries." Wendel is not interested in disparaging non-Latino players, but these mini-biographies of Latinos put their prodigious talents on full display. From the pioneers, the men Roberto Clemente referred to as a "double minority"â "black and Spanish-speakingâ "like Orestes "Minnie" Minoso, who came to the Chicago White Sox in 1951, Wendel tells the stories of players whose names are now household words: Rod Carew (of whom Ted Williams said, "He's so smooth he seems to be doing it without trying," like hitting .388 in 1977), Sammy Sosa, and the $252-million man himself, Alex Rodriguez, who may well become the Michael Jordan of the diamond. Wendel's style has an easy conversational tone, and more than enough enthusiasm. He gives his opinions of the players, but like the good reporter he is, he has, when possible, interviewed the players themselves as well as gotten the impressions of other playersâ "Latinos and non-Latinosâ "to gauge where the players stand in the estimation of their peers. Wendel has also traveled throughout Latin countries, especially Cuba, to convey a sense of where these players come from. No great surprises hereâ "but deeply affecting and impressive under one roof. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated].
