Zealot friend Adrian Burgos, author of Playing America’s Game: Baseball, Latinos, and the Color Line, was the topic of a feature article on Ron Kaplan’s Baseball Bookshelf.
Burgos is back teaching at the University of Illinois after a sabbatical. During his sabbatical, he was working on his second book, a biography of Alejandro Pompez who was the owner of the New York Cubans and later the director of international scouting for the Giants.
