Pitching Democracy
From the moment this reviewer commenced delving into Aprile Yoder's Pitching Democracy: Baseball and Politics in the Dominican Republic, the work of two great historians entered my mind. First, and not surprisingly, the famous quote by Jacques Barzun: “Whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America had better learn baseball, the rules, and reality of the game.” Second, in a 2000 article by Samuel O. Regalado, the noted scholar quoted Joe Cam…

We Remember, We Celebrate, We Believe/Recuerdo, Celebración, y Esperanza
At the very start of this work, author Armando Solórzano acknowledges the advantages and limits of his endeavor.

Mexican-Americans of South Texas Football
Over the past four decades, the breadth of Mexican-American history has expanded dramatically. One area that has been very much overlooked, however, is the role of athletics in the lives of the Spanish-surnamed men and women living in locales such as the southern region of Texas known as the Rio Grande Valley. This essay provides a glimpse into the role of sports, and particularly the most important of all Texas sports, high-school football, as a…
