Greatest All-Latino Baseball Team

Major League Baseball unveiled its plan to vote for the greatest all Latin team. Controversy arose when it was noted that two of the greatest Latinos ever to play the game were left off the ballot. The names were Reggie Jackson, who some may have known had Latin heritage, and another that would have destroyed the mans career & wreaked havoc on this nation had it been revealed 60, 50, 40 years ago. That name is Ted Williams, whose mother was Mexican.
Two arguments here: One says that only those who acknowledged and embraced their heritage should be eligible: while the other says that for the sake of truth and accuracy both should have been included.
I think that along with a growing number of other baseball stats, both should be included, BUT with an asterisk next to their name explaining that although they are of Hispanic heritage they chose, for whatever reason not to acknowledge it.
But then in Williams case in fairness to him and the times he lived in maybe we should include an asterisk to the asterisk that explains that had Ted Williams let his heritage be known he would never had been allowed to play!
AhhThank God for asterisks. How could we ever live without them

If you want to throw a wrench in the works go to mlb.com and vote, since they have write in votes, we the fans can finally let MLB know what we think of their ideas of right and wrong.

Lets not forget Canada, our gas is now approx. $1.04 to $1.09 per litre, making it approx $4 per gallon. I remember back in 1999 in Ocala FL when I could, for a little while, anyway, get PREMIUM gas for 98 cents per gallon. I know, a lot has changed since then.

PS.... RC, Nice page!
