Going as far back as the midnineteenth century, to the early days of Cuban baseball, Wendel traces the spread of American baseball fever in the Caribbean and Mexico; discusses lesserknown historical standouts, including Adolfo Luque and Martin Dihigo; and describes the days when only lightskinned Latinos wereallowed to participate in Major League competition as well as the linguistic barrier many Latinos faced when playing on teams with 'English only' rules.Featuring interviews with Latino superstars past and present; a foreword by Bob Costas; the firsteverpublished Latino AllCentury Team, featuring players selected by Omar Minaya; and photos taken by awardwinning Sports Illustrated photographer Victor Baldizon, 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.
