Meet ¡Pleibol! project collaborators, Gabriel and Jody Lopez, as they take you through the incredible history of baseball in the sugar beet fields of Colorado, Nebraska and Wyoming.

This video is one of eleven produced by our project collaborators for ¡Pleibol! digital learning activities and engagement.
