I did not know Bernie Williams was Puerto Rican. My favoraite part of the book was on page 14 when Bernie was called up by the Yankees when he was just 16 he had to go to a special camp away from other scouts. The way I can relate to this book is that I want to play for the Yankees too. Since I was about 6 I liked baseball. I played in a league I made the all-stars and the traveling team it was a fun experience for me. Theres nothing really celebrated about Latino culture except that theres plenty of good Latin baseball players.
