This is not a bad effort at providing a general overview of the subject for young readers, but it is also not a very reliable treatment of the topic for readers seeking thoroughness and historical accuracy. There are plenty of historical errors (for starters, Dolf Luque did not pitch in both the 1918 and 1919 World Series and the Havana Sugar Kings of the International League did not exist for 13 years, but only seven), and there is also more than a reasonable dose of typographical errors. Most distracting from the effort, however, is the author's overlooking in his bibliographical citations of many of the previous important works on the same topic.

This is a book that every Latino should cope with. Not only because it talks about Latinos, but because it will make you feel better about yourself!
