For aspiring Major Leaguers from Mexico, Roberto “Bobby” Ávila and, of course, Fernando Valenzuela were the figures to look up to. And Cuba brought us Atanasio “Tany” (or Tony) Pérez, who along with Tony Oliva and Luis Tiant set the bar for their countrymen in the last 60 years.
In the Dominican Republic -- birthplace of four Hall of Famers and the perennial leader in participating players in MLB born outside the U.S. and Puerto Rico -- Juan Marichal was for decades the undisputed king of baseball, the first of his countrymen in Cooperstown and the standard by which other Dominican players were measured.
