Many students are familiar with the legendary feats of Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron, and Mickey Mantle; but what about the accomplishments of baseball stars such as Minnie Minoso, Sam Jethroe, and Masanori Murakami?

As a result, diversity and athleticism remain time-tested teammates on the field of excellence.
