The influx of such players is testament to the many highquality professional and amateur leagues that thrive throughout the world. In this reference bookthe first of its kind narrative chapters trace the history of baseball in Australia, Canada, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Japan, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, and throughout the rest of the world.
