OF THE

BY KEN WILEY III

Over the past few years, it has become clear that Latin America is produc-ing some of the best baseball talent in the Major Leagues. Before the

1950s, most Latin American players came from Cuba, but because of American baseball’s color barrier, Afro-Cuban players were banned, as were players who looked to have African heritage from other countries. It was not until 1948, when Minnie Miñoso played for the Cleveland Indians, that the barrier was broken – following Jackie Robinson (Dodgers) and Larry Doby (Indians).

However, baseball had a long heritage in Latin America before the 1950s, beginning when it was introduced to the Cuban culture in the 1860s by Cubans who studied in America and by American sailors who were ported in the country. The first official match in Cuba was in Pueblo Nuevo, De-cember 27, 1874.

The match was between Club Matanzas and Club Habana, the latter winning 51 to 9, in nine innings. It was about that time that Estaban Bel-lan became the first Latin American player in the major leagues. In late 1878, the Cuban League was organized consisting of three teams. The Spanish-American War brought with it increased opportuni-ties to play against American teams.

The sport grew from there. It expanded into the Dominican Republic in the 1870s, when Cuban sugar planters fleeing the Ten Years War arrived on the island. 1897 saw the game played in Puerto Rico. The sport arrived in Venezuela at the end of

the 1910s and at the beginning of the 1920s, when American immigrants and workers from the exploding oil industry began to play. Currently, there are twelve leagues, in the different countries in the Caribbean, Mexico, and South America.

The Caribbean Series (Serie del Caribe) is affiliated with the Winter League programs of the majors, which features MLB players and prospects from four different leagues, including the Dominican Winter League, Mexican Pacific League, Puerto Rican Pro-fessional Baseball League, and Venezuelan Professional Baseball League. Each team represents the best

In addition, the Mexican League or Liga Mexicana de Beisbol is the only Major League Baseball sanctioned Triple-A league outside of the United States. It is one of three leagues playing at a Triple-A level. It has sixteen teams and was founded in 1925. It starts play in mid-March and goes through until the playoffs in mid-August.

The World Baseball Classic, which has been held in 2006 and 2009, is an interna-tional baseball tournament sanctioned by the International Baseball Federation (IBAF) and created by Major League Baseball, the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA), and other professional baseball leagues and their players associations around the world. Made up of twelve teams, the tour-nament is held in locations in the US, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Canada, and Japan. 37.5% of the teams are from Latin American coun-tries. They are Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba,

Panama, Dominican Republic, and Vene-zuela. If a proposed expansion takes place, Nicaragua and Spain will be added to the field along with another eight teams.

Latino players make up approximately 25% - 28% of the MLB players. The Do-minican Republic has the most players in the MLB with 79 while Venezuela is second with 45 (as of April 2004). Puerto Rico is third with 36.

There are eleven Hispanic Hall of Fam-ers. Roberto Clemente is the best known. He was a 12-time All-Star who won four National League batting titles. In addition, he is only the 11th player to reach 3,000 career hits. Tragically, Clemente’s life ended at the young age of 38 in a plane crash while flying relief supplies to Ni-caraguan earthquake victims. The normal five-year waiting period to be considered for the Hall of Fame was waived, and Cle-mente became the first Latin American st. louis cardinals star alBert Pujols

player elected.The other Hispanic Hall of Famers are

Alfonso Ramon Lopez, Lefty Gomez, Mar-tin Dihigo, Juan Mariachal, Luis Aparicio, Rod Carew, Orlando Cepeda, Tony Perez, Jose Mendez, and Cristobal Torriente.

The Cleveland baseball club has not only benefited from talented Latino play-ers, but the also provided some “firsts” for Hispanic players and for baseball. For ex-ample, Alfonso Ramon (Al) Lopez was the first Hispanic major league manager and led the Indians in the early to mid-1950s and to the World Series in 1954. He is the only manager who kept the Yankees from sweeping the 1950s.

The year 1954 also brought another first when Indians second baseman Bobby Avila, known as Beto in Mexico, won the American League batting title, the first Latino to win a batting title in the ma-jors. He beat out Ted Williams and former teammate Minnie Miñoso (See above for another first).

Cleveland fans have had the oppor-tunity to cheer for players more recently who have a real chance to make the Hall of Fame. Players like Manny Ramirez, Roberto Alomar, and Omar Vizquel are among the best of their generation. Cleve-land and four of its minor league affiliates are located in Ohio, and close enough to go watch them play. Last year these teams had over 30 Latin players on their rosters. From the Mahoning Valley Scrappers (Niles), Lake County Captains (Eastlake) Akron Aeros, and Columbus Clippers to the Cleveland team, opportunities are there to follow local teams and young Latino talent from Class A to the Majors.

BY RAqUEL M. ORtIz ROdRígUEz. Ph.d.Community murals designed and directed by Nuyorican artist

María Domínguez are spaces of puertorriqueñidad. She creates art that helps us celebrate as we learn about ourselves and our culture.

Domínguez began her artistic career as a muralist with City-arts in New York City in 1982. For the past twenty-eight years she has dedicated a great part of her artistic work to public art. To date, she has created twenty-two community murals.

Each mural that Domínguez helps to create resonates with the community. Her goal is for the art to make an impact, that they be works of art for the members of the community where they are created and that they engage and maintain a dialogue with that community. María defines herself as a visual narrator and art educator. She helps people who do not think they are art-ists to imagine, create, and communicate their stories in a visual language.

Baile BomBa María created her first work of public art in 1983 for the hous-

ing advocates Pubelo Nuevo: two fifteen by twenty-five foot mu-rals titled Baile Bomba (Dance Bomba, Lower East Side, 1983). Her goal was to communicate the Puerto Rican community’s resistance against the Gentry Art that was invading the Lower East Side, or Loisaida, in search of cheap housing. The theme of bomba sings out the artist’s message: “Bomba!... a dance of spir-itual renewal, Bomba!... introduced by African slaves, Bomba!...

IF THESE WALLS COULD SPEAK:

Nuestras Identidades in and on the Streets

“Fantasy”

“to our homestead”


a dance of the people, Bomba!... the people want to dance Bomba!”

On the first wall a smiling dancer, dressed in a traditional Afro-Puerto Rican bomba outfit, floats on a Caribbean blue background. Her dress fans out about her, creating the shape of the island of Puerto Rico. She is poised to twirl to the rhythm of the loud and clear voices of the com-munity that screams, in unison, their desire

to preserve their neighborhood and space. Cupped in the open hand of her outstretched arm is a flamboyán. She offers us the flower as a symbol of hope for a new space un pueblo nuevo.

On the second wall, the bomba dancer proudly lifts her full skirt and petticoats with two hands to allow us to see the Nuyorican neighborhood that she is protecting. She is custodian of a community full of light and promise. The dancer is the Loisaida community, and she dances bomba to battle against the beating drums of gentrification, poverty, and drugs. The mural of this communal dance of resistance demands a healthy, safe space for the Puerto Rican community of Loisaida to grow and prosper.

el PueBlo CantorThe mural El Pueblo Cantor (A Singing

Town, Bronx, 1994) is a twenty by ninety foot artistic manifestation that captures the cel-ebration of a song. The mural transports the spectator from a gritty, gray New York City street to a colorful voyage through the Carib-bean Sea, the tropical rain forest El Yunque, a rural mountain town, and the celebration of a bombazo in Old San Juan. The mural draws the viewer in as he or she becomes a partici-pant in sentiments of pride and celebration of Puerto Rican culture.

The incredibly realistic image of a vejigante –a carnival personality– dominates the mural. This figure is part of the patron saint celebra-tion of Saint James in Loíza on the northeast coast of Puerto Rico. Its mask, made from a coconut shell, is painted in the traditional

colors, yellow and red: El vejigante está pintaó y de amarillo y coloraó.This vejigante is ready to leap off the wall and dance through the streets,

playing pranks and hitting people with a vejiga full of water, celebrating life. Embodied in a mask, the vejigante in this mural represents the vibrant Nuyori-can community. He or she has the freedom to question authority to the rhythm of plena.

ConClusionEl Pueblo Cantor and Baile Bomba capture the celebration of song and dance

of Puerto Ricans in New York. Like the vejigante, the Puerto Ricans in New York, as well as in Cleveland and Lorain, are ready to jump off the wall and play active, vibrant roles in their communities.

Maquettes (small scaled paintings) and photos of these and other community murals designed and directed by Nuyorican artist María Domínguez will be on display at the Beth K. Stocker Gallery at Lorain County Community College from April 20th – May 2nd , 2010. Gallery hours are Monday – Friday from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and during many Stocker Arts Center events. Additional hours for classes and groups by appointment. Please call 440-366-4140

Day Trip: Great Lakes Science Center

The Great Lakes Science Center is one of the nation’s leading science

and technology centers and home to Northeast Ohio’s NASA Glenn Visitor Center. Its mission is to stimulate interest in and increase understanding of the sciences, with a particular emphasis on the interde-pendence of scientific, environmen-tal and technological activities in the Great Lakes region. The Great Lakes Science Center in Cleveland is one of America’s largest interactive science museums. Visitors can see, touch and explore hundreds of hands-on exhib-its, watch breathtaking OMNIMAX® films and enjoy daily demonstrations. They can discover exciting educational programs that demonstrate the interde-pendency of science, environment and technology, particularly in the Great Lakes Region.

Among the hundreds of hands-on ex-hibits are the Bridge of Fire and Indoor Tornado. You can lift a crushed car all by yourself or journey through space with 14 amazing experiences in the


Return to the Moon exhibit. At the Poly-mer Funhouse, young visitors can bounce in the ball pit and steer the paddlewheel steamship Polymer II. The Center also has special exhibitions that are on loan from major institutions from around the world. The Center staff holds several daily dem-onstrations that are designed to entertain, educate, and inspire audiences.

At the BioMedTech exhibit one can learn about advances in modern medicine and learn what doctors are doing to stay ahead in the field of biomedical technol-ogy, a major focus of the Northeast Ohio region. There are also renewable energy exhibits, including the 150-foot wind tur-bine, which has become a landmark along the lakefront, and a 300-foot canopy at the entrance to the Center, which is an array of solar panels. Each contributes to powering

the Center daily.Shipping along Lake Erie was a major factor in the

development of Northeast Ohio as an industrial center. The steamship William G. Mather is an example of the types of ships that sailed the Great Lakes in the early 20th century. The ship was restored as a museum and is open to the public as an exhibit of the Science Cen-ter. A tour of the 618-foot steamship, built in 1925, lets the visitor see what daily life was like on board and has many what were “engineering firsts” at the time she was built. Because the Mather is an outdoor exhibit, its visiting hours are seasonal. She opens to the public for weekends only in May, and then seven days a week from June through August.

In a new and exciting arrangement between the Science Center and NASA Glenn, the Science Center will serve as Glenn’s Visitor Center promoting and educating a regional and national audience about the importance of aeronautics, science and space explora-tion through NASA exhibits, educational tours, special events and outreach activities. Beginning this spring, approximately 20 exhibits from Glenn’s on-site Visitor Center will be transported to and installed within the Great Lakes Science Center. The collection of exhibits to be moved in this first phase will include rocket mod-els, a flight simulator and a solar array segment that was tested in a Glenn vacuum chamber.

Additional exhibits will be transferred in phases as the Science Center expands the NASA Glenn galler-ies with a major opening of a new exhibition space in 2011. The Science Center will serve as Glenn’s Visi-tor Center promoting and educating a regional and na-tional audience about the importance of aeronautics, science and space exploration through NASA exhibits, educational tours, special events and outreach activi-ties.

At the Great Lakes Science Center’s OM-NIMAX Theater, audiences can now blast off alongside the Atlantis STS-125 crew, witness up-close some of the most chal-lenging spacewalks ever performed, and experience firsthand Hubble’s awe-inspir-ing imagery, from the heart of the Orion Nebula to the edge of the observable uni-verse. Narrated by Leonardo DiCaprio, “Hubble” recounts the amazing journey of the most important scientific instrument since Galileo’s original telescope.

The Great Lakes Science Center is lo-cated at 601 Erieside Avenue, at Cleve-land’s North Coast Harbor, between Browns Stadium and the Rock and Roll

Cinco de MayoCinco de Mayo is primarily celebrated

in the state of Puebla and is a re-gional holiday in Mexico, with some

limited recognition in other parts of Mexico. It commemorates the Mexican army’s unlike-ly victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of Mexican General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguín.

The Battle was important for at least two reasons. First, although considerably outnum-bered, the Mexicans defeated a much better equipped French army. This battle was signifi-cant in that the 4,000 Mexican soldiers were greatly outnumbered by the well-equipped French army of 8,000 that had not been de-feated for almost 50 years. Second, it was sig-

nificant because since the Battle of Puebla no country in the Americas has been invaded by an army from another continent.

Cinco de Mayo is not “an obligatory fed-eral holiday” in Mexico, but rather a holiday that can be observed voluntarily. While Cinco de Mayo has limited significance nationwide in Mexico, the date is observed in the United States and other locations around the world as a celebration of Mexican heritage and pride. Cin-co de Mayo is not Mexico’s Independence Day, which actually is September 16 and is the most important national patriotic holiday in Mexico; nor is it The Day of the Dead, which occurs on November the 1st and 2nd.

In the United States, Cinco de Mayo has


taken on significance beyond that in Mexico. The date is perhaps best recognized in the United States as a date to celebrate the culture and expe-riences of Americans of Mexican ancestry, much as St. Patrick’s Day, Oktoberfest, and the Chinese New Year are used to celebrate those of Irish, Ger-man, and Chinese ancestry respectively. Similar to those holidays, Cinco de Mayo is observed by many Americans regardless of ethnic origin. Cel-ebrations tend to draw both from traditional Mexi-can symbols, such as the Virgen de Guadalupe, and from prominent figures of Mexican descent in the United States. To celebrate, many display Cinco de Mayo banners while school districts hold special events to educate pupils about its histori-cal significance. Special events and celebrations highlight Mexican culture, especially in its music and dancing.

In Lorain, Mexican Mutual Society will hold its 13th Annual Cinco de Mayo Parade and celebra-


tions on May 8 at the Mexican Mutu-al Society at 1820 East 28th Street in Lorain. The Cinco de Mayo Parade will open the festivities at 4 or 4:15 p.m; starting at St. John’s Catholic Church, at 2143 Homewood Drive near Route 57 and proceed through various South Lorain streets end-ing at the Mexican Mutual Society The parade will be followed by the Pageant’s Crowning at 6 p.m. at the Mexican Mutual Society.

The Pageant is an annual selec-tion of the Cinco de Mayo Little Queen and her court. The court con-sists of the Queen, Princess and two Duchesses. Four girls are vying for this year’s honor.

Entertainment will be provided by a mariachi band, a D.J., and the Alma de México group. There will be Mexican food, piñatas, and snow cones. The event is free and open to the public. There is a raffle with three prizes, including the first prize of $300; winners will be announced on May 8.

¡Soltera de nuevo! La ex presentadora cubanoamericana Myrka De-

llanos, luego de su separación de Ulyses Alonso, tie-ne pensado retomar su carrera y darle nuevas oportu-nidades al amor.

Ahora, con 44 años, Myrka está al frente de los micrófonos en su programa radial en Miami en CVC La Voz, una estación cristiana que transmite por sa-télite y llega hasta 22 países y dicen que dentro de poco, volverá a la pantalla chica con un programa “encantador” y también empezará a dictar clases en su alma máter en la Universidad de Miami.

¡Bien por ti Myrka!.

¿Cuál divorcio? Manuel Mijares y su esposa Lucero dicen que ya

están “hartos” de tantos rumores sobre su divorcio. “No nos vamos a divorciar. No sé si en 20 o 30 años... Pero ahora no”. Dice Mijares.

Los rumores empezaron luego que se dijera que Lucero tuvo una aventura con el actor argentino Mar-celo Córdoba de 36 años. Los comentarios al respec-to vinieron de la periodista radial Maxine Woodside y encendió más el fuego la declaración de la suegra de Lucero, Pilar Morán, donde alude: “Yo no sé por-qué Lucero le hizo eso”, en referencia a Mijares.

Chismes o no, sin duda alguna la pareja sigue su vida normal, se ven muy en familia y por ahora no han circulado buenas fuentes de separación. Así que “Dejen de inventar chismes”, como bien lo dice Lu-cero.

Regresa La despampanante actriz colombiana Catherine

Siachoque regresa a la pantalla chica como protago-nista de la nueva novela de Telemundo, ¿Dónde está Elisa?, en donde interpreta a Cecilia Altamira, una mujer impredecible que vive al cuidado de sus dos hijos y su apellido es su mejor carta de presentación.

“Ella usa su apellido siempre de soltera antes que el de casada, Altamira, para ellos, es como ser una Kennedy. Cecilia es un personaje que hace de todo, nunca sabes que va a pasar con ella. Cuando estoy haciendo una novela la estudio tanto, estoy todo el tiempo viendo como es el personaje, lo analizo, pien-so, vuelvo y leo, soy apasionada con todos mis perso-najes y eso finalmente lo acaba sintiendo el público a quien no se puede engañar. Esta novela es muy buena, ágil y diferente. Estoy segura que los mantendrá con el ojo abierto todo el tiempo”, declaró Catherine.

UNA MAMÁ MUY MODERNASofia Vergara

LAtINOS MAgAzINEPriscila rivere


En la pantalla chica o grande, cantando o bailando, la co-lombiana Sofía Vergara es una de las artistas verdaderamen-

te polifacéticas que se dan el lujo de ir en cualquier campo y triunfan sin problemas.

La “Toti” Vergara como le conocen cari-ñosamente en su familia y en su tierra natal, nació en la ciudad de Barranquilla y dio el salto al mundo del entretenimiento a los 17 años cuando fue descubierta por un fotó-grafo reconocido en su país, caminando por una playa. De esta forma, Sofia se convirtió en la figura balnearia de un comercial de Pepsi que fue visto en toda América La-tina.

Sofía, quien admitiera en una edición de la revista Maxim en 2002 que dudó mu-cho la participación en este comercial por

las presiones de arraigadas en su educación católica, aceptó “el reto” sólo cuando sus maestras le dieron luz verde para continuar.

A sus 18 años contrae nupcias con su pri-mer novio Joe González y de cuya relación nace su único hijo Manolo, quien ahora tie-ne 18 años, va a la universidad y es su rela-cionista público de cabecera ya que él se ha encargado en las redes virtuales de socializa-ción de promocionar la carrera de su mamá.

El matrimonio sólo duró dos años y Sofía decide volver a la universidad para estudiar odontología, carrera que fue truncada por las ofertas de modelaje y participación en televi-sión que sucedieron en esta época.

Su llegada a Estados Unidos fue en 1995 cuando en Miami recibe la oferta de presen-tar un programa llamado “Fuera de Serie” al lado del reconocido presentador Fernando Fiore en la cadena Univision, programa que se mantuvo al aire por casi cinco años y tam-bién fue presentadora del programa “A que no te atreves”.

cipa en una variedad de series y películas incluyendo “Chashing Papi” (2003), “Lords of Dogtown “ (2005), “Four Brothers” (2005), “Entourage” (2007) y “Dirty Sexy Money” (2007).

Su apretada agenda sigue cuan-do decide tomar el papel de Ali-cia Oviedo en la versión argen-tina de la serie “Amas de Casa Desesperadas”y se convierte en productora de esta serie en su na-tal Colombia. Recientemente la televisión en español la vio en la telenovela mexicana “Fuego en la Sangre” (2008) y entra de nuevo al mercado anglosajón al filmar “Meet the Browns”.

Sofía confesó recientemente en su aparición en el programa “The View”, que su cabellera rubia na-tural no le ayudaba a conseguir pa-ples, así que decidió teñirse el ca-bello para poder verse más latina y de esa forma empezó a llamar más la atención de productores y esto le facilita participar en series de la ca-dena ABC como “Hot Properties” y “the Knights of Propserity”.

En el 2009, debuta con éxito en la famosa Broadway al participar por cinco semanas como “Mama” Morton en el musical Chicago.

Su rol actual como Gloria Del-gado en la sensacional comedia “Modern Family” la cual los gran-des niveles de sintonía la han cata-logado como una de las figuras lati-nas más reconocidas en los Estados Unidos.

Su su amor infinito por su hijo manolo, la pasión y entrega por su carrera combinadas con su gran sentido del humor ante la vida son su mejor argumento que con un tra-bajo arduo le han dado sus buenos frutos, claro, sumados a su belleza y esbelta figura, sin duda alguna Sofía seguirá siendo una artista que seguirá cultivando triunfos por muchas décadas más.
