Felipe Alou: La historia de un campeón - by Carol Gaab. Level 2. This book is considered to be the 2nd edition of Felipe Alou (Desde los valles a los Montanas).  Under ordinary circumstances, the odds of being struck by lightning are greater than the odds of becoming a Major League Baseball player, but Felipe Alou’s circumstances in 1955 were anything but ordinary. As a Black athlete from the Dominican Republic who spoke no English, he faced many obstacles to success. Read Felipe’s amazing true story of how he beat overwhelming odds to become one of baseball’s greatest players and managers.
