Baseball has been as much of a national pastime to Cuba as it has to the United States, due in no small part to Fidel Castro’s love of the game. This book chronicles the central role Castro played in transforming the sport from professional to amateur status in the small island country, which has produced dozens, if not hundreds, of baseball stars.
The late Peter C. Bjarkman was a widely recognized authority on Cuban baseball history and a frequent visitor to the island nation. A past winner of the The Sporting News-SABR and Macmillan-SABR awards for baseball research, in 2011 he appeared on the Cuba episode of the Travel Channel's No Reservations. He was the senior baseball writer for www.BaseballdeCuba.com, the leading Cuban League website.
