Ted Williams didn’t identify as Latino, but it’s worth noting that his mother was Mexican. Her family originally hailed from Chihuahua. _Ted Williams: First Latino in the Baseball Hall of Fame_ is a book on his Latino heritage for anyone interested.
@@axelagosto5196 yeah he disrespected us by ignoring us . He could had helped us by just being open and proud of his people. This would have pushed the gringos to be less prejudice and given us more opportunity.
I'm getting all teary-eyed watching and appreciating that someone took the time to look into this. So as our pioneers names and legacy are not forgotten in today's era. Thank you. ❤
What a great find on UA-cam. Born in 1953 and lifelong Cardinals fan with baseball memories that being in 1960 I remember all the MLB players on the all-star game rosters. Now I play them in my Baseball strat-o-matic game as I have all the contender teams from the 1960s. This was during the period of 1963 through 1967 when I was really in to Topps bubble gum pack baseball card collecting and knew the starters of all the teams. Some like Cepeda did short stints with the Cardinals but Julian Javier was the long time Cardinals second baseman through my elementary and high scool years. Thanks for placing on UA-cam. I love reading baseball history of what I missed.
I'm ashamed of myself for never knowing about this AS game. I've worshipped at the altar of baseball for over 30 years, but this is the first I've ever heard of this contest. Better late than never!!
You imply it was racism that prevented Orlando Cepeda from receiving his Hall-of Fame honor for so long. Not long after his playing career, he was arrested on drug charges and spent time in prison. The Hall-of-Fame has a "morals clause" in their rules, the same one that today keeps out players like Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens as well as eliminating Rafael Palmeiro who exceeded both 3000 hits and 500 homers - typically "automatic" for entry to the Hall. Whether you think these are valid reasons for omission, the clause exists and is cited by the nearly all-white BBWAA voters who select who enters the Hall.
I did a small 4th grade speech on this game and failed since my teacher, who claimed he was a baseball fan, claimed "this game was never played". Im extatic you documented this game with this great vid! Thanks! 🤘🏼
great video! Such an interesting topic, and very well paced! It would be really cool to see a Latino all star game now, especially as a way to grow the game and at the same time show the great talent in the majors. I guess the WBC has been a cool substitute in the past.
Felipe Alou also made history when he joined his brothers Matty and Jesus in the outfield for the San Francisco Giants, becoming the first, and to my knowledge only, brothers to man an entire outfield during a game. I have it on good authority that their brother Bob lobbied for a spot but a four man outfield was deemed too softballish by Yogi Berra, who didn't really have a say in the matter but he was hanging around that day so they decided to find out what he thought about the concept. Of course, by that point Bob had already been immortalized by Ricky Ricardo but since his royalty percentage remains a mystery it's hard to say for certain how he made out in the deal. 🤔
My first two thoughts were: 1) Where were the other two Alou brothers? :-( 2) Where's Luis Tiant? Except he came up one year later, making a rookie splash in Cleveland with 10-4 / 2.83 ERA in 19 games, 16 of them starts.
Luis Tiant was one of the starting pitchers for the first baseball game I ever attended. The other starter was Nolan Ryan. Angels vs Red Sox at Anaheim on June 2nd, 1978. Tiant got the win.
This was a very interesting and captivating video. I would personally love to see the Latino All Star Game resurrected. It would.be an awesome opportunity for baseball fans of all backgrounds to show respect for the efforts and talents of past and present Latino MLB players. Their contribution to the game of baseball cannot be underestimated.
Thanks. I was wondering why a pitcher's stats would show home runs, and it seemed like a lot of home runs for a pitcher to give up. It wouldn't have kept me awake tonight, but I'm glad that you provided the answer.
I’ve always wanted to learn more about how my ancestors navigated these issues. The popular discussion is always white vs black - this was entertaining _and_ informative.
You should try living in Las Vegas for a decade or two. It's like being in the movie Dark City. Implosion is a word that comes up a lot as things go down. The casino where I got married? Implosion! The cafe where I met my wife? Torn down to the foundation. The building where I worked for many years? Likewise torn down. The history of Las Vegas is one of constant erasure.

Okay, not to get to emotional but....WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE?? Lol👍 Just found your channel & thank you. I wish you had a video out every day. Just reading the comments puts me in a 🥎 mood, which is always good for me. Thanks again & get busy.. LoL 😆👌👍
You have solved my 54 year old mystery about why the first Roberto Clemente baseball card I saw said “Bob.” It was racist propaganda. Now I know. Thank You.
I’ll tell you what would be a really great idea: a video on the tri-corner game in the 1940s. In support of WWII the Yankees, Dodgers, and Giants all played a single game against each other, where one team would pitch, another hit, and the third sat for the inning. Such an interesting concept, and I don’t think anyone’s done a video on it
Yall need to study race more... The "white passing " latinos ARE "WHITE" Predominantly... They're European with non Anglo names.... That's why the names are based on middle eastern names. All the old Christians love old bible names..... "Latinos" are just native&Spanish mixes
Thanks to the Sportsletter for sponsoring this video! Check ‘em out: www.thesportsletter.com/?

I've been doing it for 57 years worshipping at the altar of baseball
The Polo Grounds actually hosted four major league teams, starting with the Giants of the Players League in 1890.
Prof. Burgos was a professor of mine in college. So cool to see him featured.
That’s really cool!

Maaaan what great lineups on both sides of the field. Imagine sitting in the stands for that one!
I wish major leaguers did more charity publicity games. Imagine a three way between the angels, dodgers, and Padres
Baseball purists:. Legendary, sacred, historic, beloved....
1752 people: I agree
Sounds like the guy from Wendover Productions
My first two thoughts were:
1) Where were the other two Alou brothers? :-(

I'm a simple man. I see Roberto Clemente =👍
Thank you, as a latino I really enjoyed this masterpiece!!! Extraordinary job, awesome content!!!
Same
🇨🇺🇺🇸
pretty amazing this was done all the way back in 1963.
What a cool story! Glad you told me about it Mr. Historian!

It would.be an awesome opportunity for baseball fans of all backgrounds to show respect for the efforts and talents of past and present Latino MLB players.

Another great video! I love your stat graphics...easy to read and digest quickly.
At 11:08 the stats of Juan Marichal are showing the 379 HR hit by the previous player, Orlando Cepeda.
Thanks. I was wondering why a pitcher's stats would show home runs, and it seemed like a lot of home runs for a pitcher to give up. It wouldn't have kept me awake tonight, but I'm glad that you provided the answer.
I thought that was weird, I googled if he was a two-way guy.

Very cool video. I had never heard of the game until today, so thank you.
$175 in 1963 is over $1500 today. Not bad for a couple hours work.
I'll never understand America's need to destroy historic buildings like this one. Tiger stadium is another one I can't believe was replaced
I mean it was probably seriously deteriorating with renovations being too expensive, it was probably a safety concern.
You should try living in Las Vegas for a decade or two. It's like being in the movie Dark City. Implosion is a word that comes up a lot as things go down. The casino where I got married? Implosion! The cafe where I met my wife? Torn down to the foundation. The building where I worked for many years? Likewise torn down. The history of Las Vegas is one of constant erasure.
It probably looked too much like a statue of a White man.
Can you please do a video on the origins of baseball's most famous song "Take Me Out To The Ball Game?"

Fantastic content. Great job.
The second this started I knew it was the Polo Grounds.

They should do a us vs world all star game
My dad being the catcher lmao
Minoso finally in the hall of fame \o/
I just recently subbed, but I'm learning so much. Thank you.
Nobody mentioned Cap Anson
Felipe Alou was badass!

Where is that opening Polo Grounds footage from?
Wake up bae! New Baseball Historian video is out!
You really do your research, and it shows. Great channel

As a matter of fact, if you scroll to the very first video on my channel, I think you’ll find exactly what you’re looking for 👀
We should bring it back imagine all the talent
Yall need to study race more...
The "white passing " latinos ARE "WHITE" Predominantly...
They're European with non Anglo names....
That's why the names are based on middle eastern names.
All the old Christians love old bible names.....
"Latinos" are just native&Spanish mixes
They finally cut the shit and get to it at the 2:37 mark. You’re welcome
I like gays
