n this informative and entertaining book, Professor Lawrence Baldassaro, professor emeritus of Italian at the University of Wisconsin, informatively explores the role of Italian-Americans that have played in America’s pastime. He generously teaches us about the historical chronology of Italian Americans, and Professional baseball. From Ed Abbaticchio, who debuted in the late 1800’s, to recent players as Mike Piazza and Craig Biggio. The Professor, procures an excellent study and research in recapping their careers, as well as the out statistical topics and circumstances that were influential in making the Birthplace of Joe DiMaggio in California. He also analyzes such sociopolitical factors as how discrimination and family obligations limited the number of Italian players in the first third of the 20th century, and how the changing perceptions of Italian-Americans led to a postwar book of ballplayers whose last names ended in vowels. Professor Baldassaro brings a great deal of affection and merriment to his storytelling, whether he is replaying Cookie Lavagetto’s and Al Gionfriddo’s exploits in the 1947 World Series or exploring the sporting and cultural significance of Joe DiMaggio. This is a must read for all Italian Americans, and the baseball fans throughout the world! Professor Baldassaro, significant research in this book is dynamic, to say the least. It goes beyond baseball; it is a story of affection, as well as the suffering the Italian American sports player suffered in the early 1900’s. This stunning, book is available at all book stores throughout the USA
