       League's greatest pennant race and the anticipation of the
       looming challenge to MLB's color barrier. Illuminating one
       of the sport's most pivotal seasons, veteran journalist 
       César Brioso brings together a rich mix of worlds as the 
       heyday of Latino baseball converged with one of the most 
       socially meaningful events in U.S. history,"--Amazon.com.
