Puerto Rico is one of the largest producers of professional baseball players in the American & National Baseball Leagues. Notable players include Roberto Clemente, Vic Powers, Ivan Rodriguez, Guillermo "Willie Hernandez," Ruben Sierra, Juan Gonzalez, and Sandy and Roberto Alomar. Women have also been a visible face on the American and international sports scene. Locally, Latinos have had a presence in non-professional and minor league play.
This exhibit celebrates Latina/o sports figures through a collection of books and baseball and Tiger trivia cards.
