Gold Dust by Chris Lynch

Boston, 1975. Richard is a baseball maniac. He lives and breathes the sport. Napoleon, the new kid from the Dominican Republic is to be Richard's new partner. Richard would show Napoleon the baseball way. Except, Napoleon's dream is not Richard's. Napoleon wishes to be culturally enlightened. The strong racism that was in Boston raises its ugly head as Richard and Napoleon sort out their differences and tests their friendship.
