MLB Baseball Season 07

I know it doesnt seem like much, but Arroyo is the only puerto rican in the NBA right now, and like the fifth to come out of there. he's one of the best to come out of Puerto Rico and a huge hero in his country. I know that doesnt mean much to most people, but its important. im not saying ur doing this, but to dismiss players as just another "latin", is pretty insulting, to say the least.

ah yup yup...you pretty much summed it up. he also played for puerto rico in the 2004 olympics.

~k.

He played his HS basketball in the Atlanta suburbs, but certainly is legit Puerto Rican. He was on the MyBlock Puerto Rico show, and he's got that shoe line with the PR flag on it.

Why aren't there more Latinos in the NBA and NFL? Those two sports are pretty much black and white, while baseball atleast brings in Latinos and some Asians.

Latin??? lol I wont touch this one.

I am anxious about how the Tigers are gonna be this coming year...

Puerot Ricans and latino? :ermm:

Becasue baseball is HUGE in latin countries. That carries over to the kids that have grown up in the US from their parents that were born in latin countries.

Also, futbol is the same way.

Eduardo Najera is from MEXICO so there is one Mexican in the NBA....

 

[Rumpelstiltskin]

The Mets look good this year, as do the Cubs. I have high hopes for the Blue Jays again, but the division is tough so we'll see.

Born in Mexico, raised in San Antonio.

Born in Mexico, raised in San Antonio.

Does it make a difference?

There you go, Latin and Latino are completely different things.

 

[xpanther206]

Does it make a difference?

Nope, just means he's Mexican American as well as Mexican.

And of course it begs the question, would Najera & Arroyo have made it to the NBA if they hadn't played their HS ball in the US?

Gotcha.

 

[King Spadez]

Padres or nothin you fuckin faggots!!!!!

 

[2-0-NINE]

Fucks the Madres, Giants, taking the division with or without Barry Bonds!

The only reasonable answer is: maybe. An example of a Latin American player that didn't play in the US at all before going to the NBA is Manu Ginobili (he's from Argentina).

hopefully Harden can reach full potential and Crosby stops getting hurt, then we can make a run at a title
