Panama all star team

Post by 12xu »

Last night interview with Ivan Herrera he mentioned that there was not that many Panamanian players in MLB, which made me look up how many there are, and have been in the show. Currently there are only 8 in MLB, with 10 more in the minors. Just over 50 players formerly played in MLB. Here is a list of (perhaps) the best of the Panamanian players in MLB history.

c Manny Sanguillen
1b Rod Carew
2b Rennie Stennett
ss Chico Salmon
3b Hector Lopez
lf Ben Oglivie
cf Omar Moreno
rf Roberto Kelly
dh/of/1b Carlos Lee
p Mariano Rivera
p Bruce Chen
p Juan Berenguer

I looked up a similar list yesterday, to see if Ivan was the first Panamanian to hit 3 homers in a game. But Carlos Lee beat him to it.

Was it Carlos Lee that was missing a finger. Might be the only 9 fingered MLB player to hit 3 HR's, ha.
Then again, when you're a C, there might be a lot of days when you feel you're missing at least one finger.
