Description:

With beautiful four-color photographs and bilingual text, Home Is Everything documents the Latino baseball revolution in four different sections: "Baseball Is in Our Blood" which portrays the dirt-poor barrios where these young men grow up playing ball; "The Journey to the Major Leagues" reveals the hardships and homesickness the Latinos endure in small town "English only" America; "The Forgotten Ones" is about the players who didn’t have the skills to make it or suffered from simple bad luck; and "Immortals and Heroes" contains portraits of the pioneers and current heroes of Latino baseball. The first two sections feature the Oakland Athletics’ Miguel Tejada (American League’s 2002 MVP) as the Everyman of Latino baseball, following his career from the Dominican Republic through the minors leagues to the Major Leagues.
