Posted By: <b>Noel</b><p>There are numerous Cuban and Latin American books out there. One that is absolutely mandatory reading is:<br><br>Cuban Baseball: A Statistical History by Jorge Figueredo<br><br>The Complete Book of the Negro Leagues is another good one as it gives a lot of informaton about Cubans who played in the Negro Leagues. These two will give you a start. There are others. Let me know and i can get you a list.

Posted By: <b>Matt Goebel</b><p>Rob,<br><br>Ryan is the resident expert, and his website is a wealth of info on cards:<br><br>www.cubanbaseballcards.com<br><br>I' d also be glad to help you out or answer any questions you have. Noel is right about Figueredo's books - they are terrific. "Baseball's Other All Stars" by William McNeil also has a very good overview.<br><br>Matt
