From the sugar fields of Cuba to the Major Leagues and back, Baseball Journey From Cuba To The Big Leagues And Back is a memoir of love, loss, and redemption. It is the story of a young man who dreamed of playing baseball in the United States, and who overcame incredible odds to achieve his dream. It is also the story of a family torn apart by politics, and of a man who found his way back home.

Born in Cuba in 1968, Lazaro Valle grew up playing baseball in the streets. He was a natural talent, and by the time he was 16, he was playing for the Cuban national team. But in 1991, Valle defected to the United States, leaving behind his family and everything he knew. He spent the next few years playing in the minor leagues, until he finally made it to the Major Leagues in 1997. Valle played for six seasons in the Majors, but his career was cut short by injuries. After retiring from baseball, Valle returned to Cuba to be with his family.

Baseball Journey From Cuba To The Big Leagues And Back is a moving and inspiring story of a man who overcame incredible odds to achieve his dream. It is a story of love, loss, and redemption, and it is a reminder that anything is possible if you never give up on your dreams.
