At last in paperback, here is the biography acclaimed as "pure inspiration" and "moving" (Kevin Baxter, The Los Angeles Times) of a man who proved himself both on the baseball diamond and in life. Growing up, Hank Aguirre rose every morning long before school to make and deliver tortillas as part of a family-run business. In his free time, the teen-aged Hank played (and practiced endlessly at) Legion baseball and neighborhood pick-up games. After graduation, he signed on with the Cleveland Indians. He enjoyed a successful big-league career with the Indians, Detroit Tigers, Los Angeles Dodgers, and Chicago Cubs. But then, instead of basking in his popularity, he went on to found Mexican Industries in the burned-out heart of ravaged urban Detroit. Today the company is a thriving, family-owned business, employing over a thousand people and bringing hope and security where there was once poverty and despair.Drawing on first-hand experience, interviews, and research, Bob Copley shows us in The Tall Mexican a tough but caring man of talent, faith, and determination, a man who pushed beyond prejudice and mere celebrity to become a true hero.
