Product Description
With all its incredible heroes, baseball has never seen a player like Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez. From humble beginnings in his native Cuba, Hernandez shot to fame on the island as the greatest pitcher ever. But things weren't always easy for El Duque. Back in Cuba, he was banned from baseball by Fidel Castro, who which feared he might flee the country.

This inspiring story is sure to prove a winner with young baseball fans! ... Read more

WOW!!
I may not be a Yanks fan (actually I'm sick of the Yanks) but Hernandez went on along path to freedom from communism. That's something all of us take for granted. You have read this book!

WEST COASTER LOVES THE YANKS!!!
Being a die-hard Yanks fan living on the west coast, reading this book made me feel the pulse of the city where baseball is king (after Rudy G, of course). Mr. Lafreniere has done it again! Kudos Kenneth!
