Product Name
Venezuelan Bust Baseball Boom : Andrés Reiner and Scouting on the New Frontier (Paperback)
Product Description

Though Venezuela is sandwiched between two soccer-mad countries--Brazil and Colombia--baseball is its national pastime and passion. Yet until the late 1980s few professional teams actively scouted and developed players there. This book is about the man who changed all that and brought Venezuela into Major League Baseball in a major way. While other teams were looking to the Dominican Republic for new talent Houston Astros scout Andrés Reiner saw an untapped niche in Venezuela. Venezuelan Bust Baseball Boom recounts how over the next fifteen years Reiner signed nearly one hundred players nineteen of whom reached the majors. The stories of these players--among them Bobby Abreu Johán Santana Melvin Mora Carlos Guillén and Freddy García--are interwoven with Reiner s own together creating a fascinating portrait of a curious character in the annals of sports and a richly textured picture of the opening of Venezuela as baseball s new frontier. Countless interviews broaden and deepen the story s insights into how the scouting system works how Reiner worked within it and how his efforts have affected the sport of baseball in Venezuela and the significance of Venezuela in the world of Major League Baseball.
