Press and Reviews

"Baseball came to Czechoslovakia in 1921, but the sport has faced a long, jagged road to penetrate the heart of Central Europe. In We Sacrifice Everything to Baseball Michael Clair chronicles the hardscrabble push of a ragtag group of amateurs determined to do it the right way: homegrown. Clair takes us along as this endearing team of underdogs chases glory on the world stage--or, if not quite glory, something perhaps more lasting, like progress, respect, and the fulfillment of a dream that maybe, just maybe, baseball can become a truly global pastime."
