The Dominican National Pastime
Baseball has a long history in the Dominican Republic, where it is a matter of national pride and identity, and invested with political significance
Queen of the Negro Leagues: Effa Manley and the Newark Eagles
Playing America's Game: Baseball, Latinos, and the Color Line
Although largely ignored by historians of both baseball in general and the Negro leagues in particular, Latinos have been a significant presence in organized baseball from the beginning. In this benchmark study on Latinos and professional baseball from the 1880s to the present, Adrian Burgos tells a compelling story of the men who negotiated the color line at every turn—passing as "Spanish" in the major leagues or seeking respect and acceptance i…

Samuel O. Regalado. Nikkei Baseball: Japanese American Players from Immigration and Internment to the Major Leagues
Ichiro Suzuki, Daisuke Matsuzaka (Dice-K), and Yu Darvish are names familiar to fans of Major League Baseball; they are imported stars from the Japanese professional leagues. Less familiar are Frank Fukuda and Kenichi Zenimura or Japanese Americans Ryan Kurosaki, Lenn Sakata, and Don Wakamatsu. These lesser-known figures represent another historical trajectory: not of the importation of ballplayers from across the Pacific as part of the major lea…

The project of recovering the history of the Negro Leagues, and in so doing establishing a more complete account of U.S. professional baseball's segregated past, is fertile ground for interrogating the possibilities and limitations of diasporic frameworks. This article examines the problem of the color line in baseball and interrogates how the writing of black baseball history—itself a revision of the traditional narrative of U.S. professional ba…
Playing America's Game: Baseball, Latinos and the Color Line
Entering Cuba's Other Playing Field: Cuban Baseball and the Choice Between Race and Nation, 1887-1912
The development of Cuban professional baseball illuminates some of the contradictions between the discourse of a nonracial national identity and the lived experience of Afro Cubans. Unlike its amateur ranks, Cuban professional baseball had a long history as an integrated institution. On closer examination, it becomes clearer that race remained an issue. The formation of Afro Cuban baseball clubs in the late 1880s reflected the reality that Afro C…
