1B, b. 1937. Native of Puerto Rico who grew up in poverty and whose father influenced his early interest in baseball, Cepeda became a Hall of Famer in 1999. RHP, 1927-2004. Connections to New York and Puerto Rico, and very direct styles of play unite these two players. Gómez played for the NY Giants, then the Phillies, Indians, and Twins. He was the first Puerto Rican to pitch in a World Series game and, as a member of the Giants, the first Puerto Rican player to be a member of a World Series championship team. Sotomayor is the first Puerto Rican to serve on federal court's highest team. In his homeland, Gómez was nicknamed El Divino Loco ("The Divine Madman"), on account of his willingness to pitch in tough situations. In her past, Sotomayor faced some tough innings as a federal district judge, which included rescuing Major League Baseball from it's 1995 player strike, but so far in the big leagues she has no walk-off wins yet for her liberal team. Like Sotomayor's clear prose and direct, incisive, style of questioning (just ask the attorneys who have argued cases in front of her), Gómez also was known to send unambiguous messages from the mound, occasionally, even, in the form of beanballs that plunked some of the game's greats, including Carl Furillo, Frank Robinson, and Joe Adcock. 3B, b. 1974. Lowell graduated from high school with 4.0 GPA. He was the second Puerto Rican player to be named the MVP of a World Series (the first one being Roberto Clemente), and he holds the second best lifetime fielding percentage for a third baseman. 3B, DH, b. 1963. Born in New York City but raised in Puerto Rico, Martinez was a feared hitter who made seven All-Star appearances, and won two batting titles and five Silver Slugger awards. He was a Mariner fan favorite, playing his entire career with the team.
