Publisher's Notes
This funny and touching baseball story takes us back to a time we like to think was simpler, and reminds us that it wasn't. It's a book about practical jokes and sometimes impractical wisdom, about baseball and brothers, about choosing and not choosing and living with the consequences of both. "This spring's brightest piece of baseball fiction".--W.P. Kinsella.

The Veracruz Blues
by Mark Winegardner
An absorbing, dark-comic novel, THE VERACRUZ BLUES is based on actual events during the turbulent, postwar baseball days of 1946, when American players, frustrated by their treatment at the hands of the major league owners, began defecting to a new Mexican baseball league. THE VERACRUZ BLUES is a work of wit, authenticity, and imagination that uses the game of baseball as a lens through which to contemplate America. It also brings an unforgettable cast of real characters to life--from Babe Ruth to Ernest Hemingway to the black, white, and Latino players who forged an uneasy but unforgettable bond. A timeless novel with timely resonance in today's contentious sports scene, THE VERACRUZ BLUES marks the arrival of a rich and daring new voice in American fiction.
