As Cuba catches up with political and economic changes, baseball will inevitably catch up and change as well.\u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eCuba Loves Baseball\u003c\/i\u003e, photographer Ira Block, who has spent the past three years photographing the culture of Cuba through baseball, has assembled more than one hundred images of baseball players of all ages. In doing so, Block helps to preserve baseball's enduring presence in Cuba.\u003cbr\u003e The colorful photos cover everything from grass roots baseball to the pro teams, from portraits of old-timers to children playing baseball in the streets, and from exuberant fans at stadiums to vendors selling traditional food before the games. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCuba Loves Baseball\u003c\/i\u003e incorporates sport with culture in a country that has been \"closed\" for so many years. It makes the perfect gift for sports fans, people interested in Cuba and travel, men and women who played baseball as children in cities or rural areas, and parents who have children playing baseball now.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ira Block\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1510730435\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781510730434\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Skyhorse Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/03\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.40h x 9.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Ira Block","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49082798964991,"sku":"9781510730434","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cuba-loves-baseball-ira-block-9781510730434","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
