"A fantastic social history" from the author of Salt and Cod (USA Today) In the Dominican Republic town of San Pedro de MacorÃs, baseball is often seen as the only way to a better life. For those who make it, the million-dollar paychecks from Major League Baseball mean that not only they, but their entire families as well, have been saved from grinding poverty.
