"This is a book about poverty and wealth, about tenacity and survival, about colonialism and capitalism, about the Dominican people and their brutal history, about the life of a small Caribbean town - and also a book about baseball. By the year 2008, seventy-nine boys and men from San Pedro de Macoris in the Dominican Republic had gone on to play in the Major Leagues - that means that one in six Dominicans who has played in the majors has come from one tiny, impoverished region. Rico Carty, Alfredo Griffin, Robinson Cano, Sammy Sosa, Alfonso Soriano, and legions of other San Pedro players who came up in the local sugar-mill teams flocked to the United States, looking for opportunity, wealth, and a better life. In San Pedro, baseball is often seen as the only way to a better life. For those who make it, the million-dollar paychecks from Major League Baseball mean that not only they, but their entire families as well, have been saved from grinding poverty. The successful few set an example that dazzles the neighbors they have left behind. But for the majority, this dream is illusory. Because of the sugar industry, and the influxes of migrant workers from across the Caribbean to work in the cane fields and factories, San Pedro is one of the most ethnically diverse areas of the Dominican Republic. A multitude of languages are spoken there; a multitude of skin colors populate the community; the constants are sugar and baseball. The history of players from San Pedro is also a chronicle of racism in baseball, of changing social mores in sports and in the Dominican Republic and in the United States, and of the personal stories of the many men who have sought freedom from poverty through playing ball. Mark Kurlansky reveals two countries' love affair with a sport, and the remarkable journey of San Pedro and its baseball players. As he did in Cod and Salt, he follows the common threads to the story, and here discovers wider meanings about place, identity, and above all, baseball." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
