A job assignment in the Dominican Republic led the Oleksaks to delve into Latin American baseball history. Their book follows on the heels of two similar offerings on the subject, John Krich's El Beisbol ( LJ 5/1/89), which blends travelog with a current survey of the sport, and Rob Ruck's The Tropic of Baseball ( LJ 2/15/91), which concentrates on the Dominican game. In comparison, the Oleksaks provide wider emphasis on the collective and individual contributions of Latins to the game than Krich or Ruck does. Essential for libraries with Hispanic readers, and a good choice for other sports collections .
