These photographs serve as a lens to both local sports history and Mexican American history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Images of Baseball: Mexican American Baseball in Los Angeles celebrates the flourishing culture of the great pastime in East Los Angeles and other communities where a strong sense of Mexican identity and pride was fostered in a sporting atmosphere of both fierce athleticism and social celebration. From 1900, with the establishment of the Mexican immigrant community, to the rise of Fernandomania in the 1980s, baseball diamonds in greater Los Angeles were both proving grounds for youth as they entered their educations and careers, and the foundation for the talented Forty-Sixty Club, comprised of players of at least 40, and often over 60, years of age. These evocative photographs look back on the great Mexican American teams and players of the 20th century, including the famous Chorizerosthe proclaimed Yankees of East L.A.

Book excerpt: Images of Baseball: Mexican American Baseball in Orange County celebrates the once-vibrant culture of baseball and softball teams from Placentia, Anaheim, Santa Ana, Westminster, San Juan Capistrano, and nearby towns. Baseball allowed men and women to showcase their athletic and leadership skills, engaged family members, and enabled community members to develop social and political networks. Players from the barrios and colonias of La Fábrica, Campo Colorado, La Jolla, Logan, Cypress Street, El Modena, and La Colonia Independencia, among others, affirmed their Mexican and American identities through their sport. Such legendary teams as the Placentia Merchants, the Juveniles of La Habra, the Lionettes de Orange, the Toreros of Westminster, and the Road Kings of Colonia 17th made weekends memorable. Players and their families helped create the economic backbone and wealth evident in Orange County today. This book sheds light on powerful images and stories of the Mexican American community.

These evocative photographs recall the often-neglected history of Mexican American barrio baseball clubs of the Inland Empire.

Book excerpt: Mexican American Baseball in El Paso chronicles the vibrant and colorful history of baseball in the El Paso-Juárez border region. For more than a century, baseball along the border has served as a means of bringing together people of all backgrounds, races, and nationalities, from the fly-by-night teams of the Pancho Villa era to the fabled semiprofessional clubs of the Lower Valley League. For the area's Mexican and Mexican American citizens, storied teams like the Juárez Indios, Fabens Merchants, 1949 Bowie Bears, and El Paso Diablos served as both community rallying points and signposts of cultural identity. From the legendary semiprofessional players of decades past to the most recent major leaguers, this book presents the photographic history of baseball in America's largest border community.

Many former players dedicated their lives to the unrelenting struggle for social justice, while others devoted themselves to youth sports. This book remedies the glaring omission of baseball images and stories of Mexican American neighborhoods in the Central Coast of California.

The South Bay contains fifteen cities plus incorporated parts of the City of Los Angeles and the County of Los Angeles. South Bay's name stems from its geographic location stretching along the southern shore of Santa Monica Bay. This publication highlights the legacy of Mexican American baseball and softball within these communities: Catalina Island, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach, San Pedro, Torrance, Wilmington, Terminal Island, Gardena, Compton, Inglewood, Harbor City, Long Beach, and Lawndale. Additional chapters include softball and baseball at California State University at Dominquez Hills, and in nearby Orange County. Since the early 20th century, softball and baseball diamonds have cultivated generations of players from little league to high school to college, and into the professional ranks. More than a game, Mexican American baseball and softball are political instruments and analytical prisms to better comprehend community history: the struggles for social, educational, and economical equality; the untold contributions of women; the critical roles and countless influences of documented and undocumented peoples; the various community organizations promoting political self-determination and workers rights; military and home front sacrifices; the hard-fought battles against devastating redevelopment and gentrification, the tireless efforts for comparable access to recreational facilities, and an unmatched love for sports." -- Amazon.com.

Book excerpt: A story about baseball, family, the American Dream, and the fight to turn Los Angeles into a big league city. Dodger Stadium is an American icon. But the story of how it came to be goes far beyond baseball. The hills that cradle the stadium were once home to three vibrant Mexican American communities. In the early 1950s, those communities were condemned to make way for a utopian public housing project. Then, in a remarkable turn, public housing in the city was defeated amidst a Red Scare conspiracy. Instead of getting their homes back, the remaining residents saw the city sell their land to Walter O'Malley, the owner of the Brooklyn Dodgers. Now LA would be getting a different sort of utopian fantasy -- a glittering, ultra-modern stadium. But before Dodger Stadium could be built, the city would have to face down the neighborhood's families -- including one, the Aréchigas, who refused to yield their home. The ensuing confrontation captivated the nation - and the divisive outcome still echoes through Los Angeles today.
