| Summary |
Under ordinary circumstances, the odds of being struck by lightning are far greater than the odds of becoming a Major League Baseball player, and Felipe Alou's circumstances in 1955 were anything but 'ordinary' ... As a non-English-speaking black athlete living in the Dominican Republic, Felipe was anything but the ideal candidate for success in the U.S., especially during the height of the civil rights movement. This is Felipe's amazing (true) story of perseverance and determination to beat overwhelming odds and insurmountable obstacles to become one of baseball's greatest players and managers. |
