10-5-22: Celebrating Latinos in baseball

I would love to hear from you, just send me text and let me know what you think of the podcast.As I continue talking about Hispanic Heritage Month, I wanted to focus on the history of Latin American players in baseball and the boom of the last several decades. I go back to some of the white Hispanic players early in baseball and talk about my old friend and the first Black Latino player, Minnie Miñoso, who joined Cleveland in 1949. Stars of the 1960’s gave a whole generation of kids Hispanic players to root for and led to the boom of the last 30 years where today, Latino players make up over 30% of the players and their passion for baseball has shaped the most exciting parts of the modern game. So we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month by celebrating all the great Hispanic players past and present. Source: http://websites.umich.edu/~ac213/student_projects06/witaw/early%20years.htmlVisit my website: saxinthemorning.com for merchandise and other links. Follow us on social media: Instagram: @saxinthemorning_podcastYouTube: subscribe and watch shorts here   Remember, Sax in the Morning swag is now available on my Instagram site.
