He compiled a book with the results of the South American Games, as well as the Pan Am Games and the Olympic Games, but the one about the SA Games remain the only credible source of historical results for the competition. He even distributed it for free. I e-mailed him once and he replied with enthusiasm about his book. Oh, man. Life is unfair. He will be missed.

I’d be interested in those books for sure. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

There's one (not from Rodriguez, though) about the CAC Games with results from 1926 to 2010. I think you would like to read it too. You can download it here.

Incredible resources for my reporting and archiving, thank you very much for sharing his works. I’m so glad other people have a deep passion for this stuff too. Terrible shame to hear of his passing. thiago_simoes 1 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
