Abstract

The article discusses two different books. The first book, "Pitching Democracy: Baseball and Politics in the Dominican Republic" by April Yoder, explores the relationship between baseball and the development of democracy in the Dominican Republic. Yoder examines the influence of Dominican baseball leagues, Major League Baseball, and the Dominican government on the country's democracy. The second book, which is not explicitly named, focuses on the history of law enforcement in Mexico City and highlights the forgotten role of night watchmen in the city's history. Both books offer valuable insights into the cultural and political contexts of their respective subjects. [Extracted from the article]
