Alan M. Klein examines the complex intersection of globalization and professional baseball, analyzing how international recruitment and shifting cultural landscapes impact the sport's domestic identity. Through extensive fieldwork and interviews, the text explores the structural changes within Major League Baseball as it expands its reach into Latin America and beyond, questioning the long-term sustainability of the American national pastime in a globalized market.
