RIP Minnie Minoso, another pioneer in terms of race relations in professional sports. http://www.wsj.com/articles/minnie-minoso-mlbs-first-black-latino-star-dies-1425232870
My dad, who grew up watching him play and was a huge White Sox fan for his entire life, just thought the world of him and always felt that he should have made the Hall of Fame. They had their chance again this year (via the veterans committee) and yet again blew it. Now that he's dead, I'm sure the schmucks will finally elect him in like they did several years ago with Ron Santo.
