商品簡介
The National Pastime and the American dream entwine in this story of Latinos who come to the United States with their eyes on a tantalizing prize: a career in professional baseball. From Cuba to Venezuela and throughout the Caribbean, thousands of boys grow up playing sandlot ball and counting on big-league stardom. Inspired by Latino greats who paved the way, young men train at local baseball academies and head north in hopes of success. Far From Home dramatically portrays the energy, talent, and hard-driving ambition brought to the game by these determined players and invites us into the close-knit communities and raucous arenas where their baseball dreams took hold.
Photographer Jose Luis Villegas and sportswriter Tim Wendel capture the excitement and glory of contemporary superstars like Nomar Garciaparra, Albert Pujols, and Miguel Tejada - as well as the struggles of hopefuls who find themselves in far different situations.
