The White Sox Legend Of Minnie Miñoso, Browns at White Sox, July 1, 1953.

from Classic Baseball Radio · host Ewan Spence

Minnie Miñoso earned his legendary status countless times. He was the first Afro-Latino in the Majors, the first black player for the White Sox, and one of the first Latin Americans in the All-Star Game. He picked up three Gold Gloves, batted eight seasons over .300, and was the second player to appear in major league games in five different decades. Of course the White Sox retired #9. Our broadcast today goes back to 1953, and Miñoso is on course to post a .313 for the year. The White Sox have 42 wins so far and welcome the Browns, with just 27 wins, to Comiskey Park. Al Helfer and Art Gleason share the microphone, and they'll have their work cut out for them… everyone loves filling airtime when there's a mid-game rain delay!
