Mexican American Baseball in the Alamo Region celebrates the game as it
was played in the Tejano and Tejana communities throughout Texas. This
regional focus explores the importance of the game at a time when
Spanish-speaking people were demanding cultural acceptance and their
political and civil rights in cities like San Antonio, Corpus Christi,
New Braunfels, San Diego, Kingsville, and Pleasanton. All had thriving
Mexican American communities that found comfort in the game and pride in
their abilities on the field. On these pages are historical images and
wonderful stories that are now immortalized, taking their rightful place
in the annuals of the game. ¡Viva Tejas, Viva Béisbol, y Viva los
Peloteros!
