i agree with john [maybe for the first and last time] that race is different in latin america. the calibration of "hueism" is different. the intensity and proportionality are different. as for americans never understanding,well,yeah,most americans dont understand race here either so whats new?
and arent bolivians and canadians americans also?[of a sort at least].

Race is a big issue in the DR. Americans will nevr understand it.

Will this book be available in Spanish?

Thanks

Was the film "Sugar" an accurate depiction of baseball in the D.R.?

I am from Toronto where there is a prevailing myth that the Blue Jays were an organization that pioneered recruiting in the Domincan.

How much truth is there to the idea that Pat Gillick (Jays GM, former) was the first to aggressively scout there?

Very interesting. You should mention the great film "Sugar," which tells the story of one of these kids from the Dominican Republic who comes to the U.S.

Ah-here's a great song to accomany your interview: wonderful Juan Louis Guerra's dance-inspiring song Guavaberry...
