Of course celebrating heritage is worthwhile, but 1/2 heritage, 1/4 heritage, 1/16 heritage? Where is the line drawn? The article said, "it wasn't an exact science." Maybe it should have been in order to avoid controversy (Reggie/Ted). What you say is true- However,-There are many people in the USA who are 100% of anything. Its important to celebrate ones heritage. Everybody has a right to know where they came from!
I nominate Miltonio Bradleyez to this list.
I'm sure Martin Sheen won't end up on any "Greatest Latino Actors Lists" either.
Hey, if Jethro Tull can beat out Metallica for the first-ever heavy metal Grammy, then Reggie and TWill should be on the list of greatest Latino players...
I would like to see the complete list. What gets me is that more than two dozen of the nominees are current players? Can you really be a legend if you are still playing? Especially, if you are still playing and have only played a few years? It's almost like the ballot maker did not want to do the research to find past Latino players, so he just took the best of the current group and filled it in with names he knew or could easily locate.
I'd just like to congratulate Major League Baseball for turning a celebration of Latino players into a litmus test of whether specific stars deserve to be called Latino. This is the kind of marketing genius that brought the world the All-Star Game ending in a tie.
I see two mistakes on the ballot with out even thinking about it much. To many currant players like "gray" said. Johan santana is a great young pitcher, but I dont think he has played long enough to be considered a legend yet. The AL MVP of 1965 is not on the Ballot. Zoilo Versilles of the Twins certainly deserves to be there! . I am sure that I could find some more!
Don't forget Mr. Steroid is on there, too. Raffy Palmeiro may be Latino, but I can't imagine the Latino community is terribly proud of him.
but he is still one fo them
"One of us! One of us!"
