To begin this lesson, discuss that more than 25% of major leaguers are from Latin America and another 5% are Latinos born in the United States. 2. Baseball’s roots in Latin America can be traced back nearly 150 years. Over that time, the game has become deeply woven into the social and cultural fabric of Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Venezuela, and other countries of the Caribbean Basin. 3. Introduce the activity by explaining that students will be doing research to learn more about the geographic and cultural elements that make each of these places unique, and presenting final projects that will demonstrate that information. 4. Divide students into 5 small groups. Assign each group a country from the list below: • Cuba • The Dominican Republic • Puerto Rico • Mexico • Venezuela 5. Provide each group with the appropriate country information sheet/graphic organizer (included). Explain that each sheet contains a brief history of baseball in that country, as well as an outline to help guide students’ research. 6. *Optional * For Spanish classes, depending on your students’ language abilities, you may choose to give students the country information sheets in Spanish (included). You may also have students present their final projects in Spanish. 7. Explain that students may present the results of their research in a variety of ways. They may choose from the following: • Create a PowerPoint presentation (at least 10 slides) exhibiting information about the country. • Create a video about the country. • Write a 7-10 page research paper about the country. • Another project discussed and approved by the teacher. 23 Cultural Diversity: Diversity in the Dugout - Level 3 8. Students are free to choose which type of project they would like to complete. Each project must illustrate general information about the country as well as the history of baseball in that country. 9. Provide students with additional research parameters: • Groups must use at least four sources. • A bibliography must be turned in with the final product. 10. Provide all students with a due date for their projects. 11. Point out that each country’s information sheet doubles as a graphic organizer. The categories listed in the grid are meant to help guide students’ research. As a class, brainstorm a list of potential sources that might be helpful in researching the culture and geography of these different countries. Write down students' ideas on the board or on a piece of chart paper. 12. Go to the school library during your scheduled time slot. Have groups use reference materials such as encyclopedias, atlases, almanacs, or other geography-related sources such as travel guides. Depending on equipment availability, students may also use the Internet for research purposes. 13. Remind students that, as with any research paper, they are expected to develop a bibliography for this project. The bibliography should be turned in as part of the final project. Conclusion: To conclude this lesson and check for understanding, have each group share their final projects with the class. Optional: The Education Department at the Baseball Hall of Fame loves student work! If you would like to send some of your students' projects to be considered for display in our Learning Center, please contact us via e-mail at [email protected] . 24 Cultural Diversity: Diversity in the Dugout - Level 3 United Nations of Baseball Cuba Cuba lies at the heart of Caribbean baseball. The game arrived on the island in the 1860s when returning students brought it home from the United States. Baseball spread like wildfire, partly as a symbolic rejection of Spanish colonial rule. Crisscrossing the region, Cubans then shared the game throughout the Caribbean, earning the title, "Apostles of Baseball." At home, Cubans established the Caribbean's first pro league in 1878. Playing in winter, the league featured some of the world's best baseball for over 80 years as major leaguers, Negro leaguers and Caribbean stars played together. In 1961, Fidel Castro replaced the professional Cuban League with

Description: Abstract: Baseball player Minnie Minoso (1925 - 2015 ) was an all-star player with the Chicago White Sox known as "Mr. White Sox." Minoso was interviewed by The HistoryMakers® on June 7, 2002, in Chicago, Illinois. This collection is comprised of the original video footage of the interview. Identification: A2002_084 Language: The interview and records are in English. Biographical Note by The HistoryMakers® Baseball legend Minnie Minoso was born Saturnino Orestes Arrieta Armas Minoso in Havana, Cuba on November 29, 1925. The outfielder and third baseman played for 17 seasons on four different teams and ended his Major League playing career in 1980. Known as the "Cuban Comet," Minoso was the first Chicago White Sox player to break the color barrier in 1951. In his first time at bat in his White Sox debut May 1, 1951, Minoso hit a home run in a game against the New York Yankees. He finished his rookie year as the American League leader in stolen bases and triples, and led the American League in stolen bases each year from 1951 to 1953. While with the Chicago club, Minoso ushered in the era of the "Go-Go Sox." Although he was not present for the Sox' 1959 pennant win, they gave him an honorary championship ring.

Summary: The purpose of this paper is to highlight the importance of the Spanish language and the remarkable contribution to Major League Baseball by Spanish- American players. Keywords: baseball, sports, Major League Baseball, Spanish, Latinos Introduction The purpose of this paper is to highlight the remarkable contribution made to Major League Baseball (MLB) by players from Spanish America both in terms of © Orlando Alba Baseball: a U.S. Sport with a Spanish-American Stamp Informes del Observatorio / Observatorio Reports. 017-01/2016EN ISSN: 2373-874X (online) doi: 10.15427/OR017-01/2016EN Instituto Cervantes at FAS - Harvard University © Instituto Cervantes at the Faculty of Arts and Sciences of Harvard University quantity and quality.1 The central idea is that the significant and valuable Spanish-American presence in the sports arena has a very positive impact on the collective psyche of the immigrant community to which these athletes belong. Moreover, this impact extends beyond the limited context of sport since, in addition to the obvious economic benefits for many families, it enhances the image of the Spanish-speaking community in the United States. At the level of language, contact allows English to influence Spanish, especially in the area of vocabulary, which Spanish assimilates and adapts according to its own peculiar structures. Baseball, which was invented in the United States during the first half of the nineteenth century, was introduced into Spanish America about thirty or forty years later.
