Latino Sluggers

The more than 40 current Latin MLB players who have slugged their way to millionaire status follow a grand tradition that began April 23, 1902, when a Colombian infielder named Luis Castro entered the Philadelphia Athletics lineup. Baseball might be as American as apple pie, but it has always been right up there with fÚtbol in the Americas as well. Smart scouts have always searched the sandlots of Cuba, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Panama, and the rest of Latin America, not only because they could sign players for a few pesos but also because they could sign great players for a few pesos.
