A history of Cuban baseball, 1864-2006

Abstract

This work, from noted expert Peter Bjarkman, is the complete history of Cuban baseball from its earliest beginnings through over 50 years of post-revolution play. Included are portraits of a century's top Cuban ballplayers, including recent stars like Omar Linares and Osmani Urrutia. The book also features year-by-year summaries of every Cuban professional and amateur league season, details on every Cuban national team appearance (1926-2006) in amateur and professional international tournaments, and Cuban legends, like the often misrepresented tale of Fidel Castro's amateur pitching career.
