Join the debate!  Who should be in the Hall of Fame? Hispanic Heritage Trivia (Fall 2008) More in Sports

From Puerto Rico's Roberto Clemente to Panama's Mariano Rivera, Latinos have been making baseball history for decades. Now that legacy is being celebrated.

In May, a bilingual exhibit highlighting Latino baseball players and their impact on the game opens at the National Baseball Hall of Fame & Museum in Cooperstown, New York. ¡Viva Béisbol! will spotlight the role of Hispanic players in baseball in the United States as well as the history of the game in the Caribbean region.

Visitors will see jerseys, bats, batting gloves, and more from players such as Clemente, Rivera, Panamanian Rod Carew, and Dominican Alfonso Soriano, and watch video interviews with players such as Dominican Juan Marichal highlighting their determination to play in the major leagues.

"The exhibit will talk about the challenges Latin ballplayers have faced [in] the United States," says curator John Odell. "They faced dual discrimination of both race and language."
