A new feature is launched with this issue. From now until September, each issue will contain details of the San Antonio Service Baseball League for the corresponding month from 1945.

This year is the 65th anniversary of D- Day and the June issue will feature an exclusive article on baseball’s role at Normandy. If you have any stories or anecdotes about ballplayers who were at Normandy on June 6, please get in touch so we can include them. This month I can reveal the title of my forthcoming book with McFarland. Baseball’s Dead of World War II: A Roster of Professional Players Who Died in Service, draws on extensive research, and interviews with surviving family members to give the first published insight into the personal lives, baseball careers and tragic sacrifices made by 127 minor league players during World War II.

  • Beisboleros: Latin Americans and Baseball in the Northwest, 1914
    WashingtonHistory.org BEISBOLEROS Latin Americans and Baseball in the Northwest, 1914-1937 By Gilberto Garcia COLUMBIA The Magazine of Northwest History, Fall 2002: Vol. 16, No. 3 Beginning in the late 1870s baseball teams in the United States used the services of Latin Americans. Cuba provided the bulk of the early players, though there were a few individuals from South America and Mexico. Within the United States, segregationist practices affected the participation of minority players, and Latinos were not excluded from such effects. Participation in baseball required taking the color test. If you were white enough to pass the scrutiny of the fans, the players, and the owners, you were allowed to play baseball in the United States. Two issues explain the treatment of Latin American ball players. First, the racial history of Latin America made it possible for some Latino baseball players to be accepted as "white" and for others to be rejected as too "dark." Second, players from Latin America were accepted more readily if they fulfilled a second requirement. This is what I call "the folkloric-esoteric" image. The newspapers utilized images of strange and colorful figures from sunny islands in the Caribbean and tropical places in Latin America, which brought images of bullfighters, Spanish grandees, "revolutionaries," and other folkloric fantasies. The images could be sold to the public in a nice, appealing wrapper, which in turn fulfilled the fantasies of white readers. Not surprisingly, this was the experience of Latin American baseball players in the Northwest. Organized baseball in the Northwest began in the late 1890s with the establishment of several minor league circuits, including Latino players.
