Mexicans Playing Baseball in an Indiana Steel Town is a story about the early lives of a group of Mexican Americans who call themselves the “Old Timers of Indiana Harbor.” As a group, the Old Timers either were born in or arrived in Indiana Harbor at a very young age in the 1910s and through the 1930s. They are the original Mexican residents of Indiana Harbor, a section in the city of East Chicago, Indiana, that stood directly across from one of the largest basic steel mills in the world at the time, Inland Steel. It was a very industrial and urban environment. Indiana Harbor, or “The Harbor” as most Old Timers say, served as a destination stop for many Mexicans migrating to the Midwest from 1910 – 1950 in search of “one of those high paying jobs” at Inland Steel and other steel mill plants.

The Harbor became the center of the growing Mexican community in Northwest Indiana before and after World War II. It is within these general social and historical conditions that the development of baseball and softball teams in Indiana Harbor provided a recreational activity enjoyed by many in the Mexican community. The playing of baseball also became a simultaneous expression of their developing U.S./American identity and their developing Mexican identity.

I didn't even know there was a city called East Chicago, Indiana. Anyhow, this is the country we've got. Better to work with what there is, I figure.

Daddy vs Bucky The Wolf Dog

A special memory of my amazingly awesome father.

My children had it so much easier than I did, particularly when it came to school. They didn’t have to go to the library and wait for a book to be returned so they could do an assigned report. They didn’t have to carry 30 books home in a backpack to one night’s homework because they could assess their assignments online. Even better, they have Chromebooks to use. They didn’t have to wait until…
