Puerto Rico and Baseball: 60 Biographies (SABR Digital Library, #49)

Baseball in Puerto Rico has a long history, dating back to the nineteenth century and now extending into the twenty-first. As of the end of 2016, there have been 323 players born in Puerto Rico or descended from Puerto Rican natives who have played in the major leagues. But there are thousands of Puerto Rican professional players who have played in the Caribbean and other professional leagues, including the minor leagues in the United States. As one might imagine from the title, Puerto Rico and Baseball: 60 Biographies contains 60 biographies of players - but it also has two ballpark bios and an article on major-league games played in Puerto Rico, both spring training exhibition games and several regular-season games from the time when Los Expos included San Juan as their home base. This book highlights some of the pioneers who played in the Negro Leagues before the color line was broken, right up through Ivan Rodriguez, elected in 2017 to the National Baseball Hall of Fame. In reading this book you will get to know Perucho, who was compared with Ty Cobb and called the Babe Ruth of Puerto Rico; why Pancho Coimbre was considered one of the best hitters; the story of the great Roberto Clemente; who was el Divino Loco, the first pitcher to win a major-league game on the Pacific Coast; who was El Jibaro; and even the great achievements of the man who was possibly the most complete catcher who ever stepped on a diamond. This book also represents the collaborative efforts of 46 authors and editors from the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR).
