"The Cuban Comet" and "Mr. White Sox" dies at 90!

Minnie MiƱoso,
MLB's first black Latino star
Minoso played 12 of his 17 seasons in Chicago, hitting .304 with 135 homers and 808 RBIs for the White Sox. The White Sox retired his No. 9 in 1983 and there is a statue of Minoso at U.S. Cellular Field.

Minoso, regarded as baseball's first black Latino star, was a Havana native who spent most of his career in left field. He is one of only two players to appear in a major league game in five different decades. He got his final hit in 1976 at age 53 and went 0 for 2 in two games in 1980 for the White Sox, who tried unsuccessfully over the years to get the "Cuban Comet" into baseball's Hall of Fame.

    Villanova is the Zero. 1 seed in the Big East tournament 2017 March Madness , and while that league has regularly

    favorite.
