Vizquel jugó con los Seattle Mariners (1989-93), Cleveland Indians (1994-2004), San Francisco Giants (2005-2008) y con los Rangers de Texas (2009) antes de firmar con el equipo de Chicago (2010-2011). Es un bateador ambidiestro que lanza la pelota con la mano derecha. Por su gran cantidad de registros es considerado el mejor campocorto defensivo de la historia del béisbol. Después de firmar un contrato de Ligas Menores con losToronto Blue Jays Omar Vizquel 2 Carrera Vizquel es otro de los grandes jugadores del campocorto de origen venezolano, antecedido por Chico Carrasquel, Luis Aparicio, David Concepción y Oswaldo Guillén. Es uno de los mejores exponentes de la jugada de double play de la historia. En 2002, sólo cometió siete errores en 150 juegos, pero ese año el Guante de Oro pasó a manos de Alex Rodríguez lo que impidió extender una cadena de nueve años consecutivos como el mejor campo corto de de la Liga Americana. Vizquel firmó con Seattle en 1984 y realizó su debut en las grandes ligas el 3 de abril de 1989. Su labor defensiva fue notable desde el principio, no así su labor ofensiva la cual fue mejorando paulatinamente luego de varios años. En sus primeros tres años con Seattle, bateó .220, .247 y .230 con sólo 39 extrabases. Luego bateó para promedio de .294 en 1992 y 1993. Al final de ese año fue cambiado al equipo de Cleveland. Luego de estricto entrenamiento al bateo y de ajustes en su estilo logró subir su promedio y en 1996 bateó .297, con nueve home runs, 64 carreras impulsadas, 98 carreras y 36 Dobles. En los años siguientes, bateó sobre .280. En la defensa, Vizquel trabajó en dúo con el segunda base Roberto Alomar, llegando a ser una de las más efectivas combinaciones defensivas de todos los tiempos. Luego de batear 14 home runs y empujar 72 carras en 2002, Vizquel fue operado de su rodilla derecha para reparar un cartílago. Sólo jugó 64 juegos en 2003 y debió ser nuevamente operado. En 2004 tuvo una temporada ofensiva exitosa con .291 de promedio en 148 Juegos. En la temporada siguiente firmó con los Gigantes de San Francisco. El 13 de mayo de 2007, Vizquel realizó el double play número 1.591 batiendo el registro absoluto que para entonces ostentaba Ozzie Smith. En su carrera de 22 años, Vizquel ha bateado .273 de promedio, 80 home runs y 401 bases robadas, recibiendo 1.014 bases por bolas en 2857 juegos. El 3 de julio de 2007 Omar Vizquel participó en su juego 2.500 de las Grandes Ligas, convirtiéndose en uno de los tres jugadores latinoamericanos en toda la historia en superar esta marca de juegos jugados. El domingo 25 de Mayo de 2008 a sus 41 años, Omar Vizquel participó en una doble cartelera y rompió el registro de Luis Aparicio, al cumplir la cantidad de 2.585 partidos como campo corto. Para el final de la temporada 2010 y según el sitio de la MLB Omar empató en el puesto 15 a Craig Biggio en la lista de jugadores con más partidos jugados en grandes ligas con 2.850.

Even more important, the left-hander felt healthy through six or seven side sessions, after dealing with myriad injuries during his Minor League career. That combination, along with his raw talent, puts Clarkin in play to be added to the White Sox 40-man roster by the 7 p.m. CT deadline on Monday, protecting him from exposure to selection by the rest of baseball in the Rule 5 Draft on Dec. 14 at the Winter Meetings in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. Clarkin, Chicago's No. 22 prospect according to MLBPipeline.com, was selected by the Yankees at No. 33 overall in the 2013 MLB Draft, one pick after Aaron Judge, the '17 American League Rookie of the Year Award winner and MVP Award runner-up.

He concluded that, “What is actu- ally being invaded here is America and its hold on its theoretical na- tional pastime. We’re not sure exactly when this happened—possi- bly while you were busy watching a Yankees-Red Sox game—but this isn’t just America’s sport anymore. It is Latin America’s sport.” While it may not have gone that far yet, the presence of Latino players in baseball, especially in Major League Baseball, has grown enormously. In 1990, the Racial and Gender Report Card recorded that 13 percent of MLB players were Latino. In the 2009 MLB Racial and Gender Report Card, 27 percent of the players were La- tino. The all-time high was 29.4 percent in 2006. Teams from South America, Mexico, and the Caribbean enter the World Baseball Classic with superstar MLB players on their ros- ters. Stark wrote, “The term, ‘baseball game,’ won’t be adequate to describe it. These games will be practically a cultural symposium— where we provide the greatest Latino players of our time a monstrous stage to demonstrate what baseball means to them, versus what baseball now means to us.” American youth have an array of sports to play besides base- ball, including soccer, basketball, football, and hockey.
