It's sad in the national media (USA) there was almost no stories about this exhibit....I spoke with Tany Perez at whatever is called now Dolphin Stadium in Miami ( he could not go because he was working the Rays vs. Marlins game) last weekend and he made me the same comment....

Latin American story told in new exhibit
Hall opens ¡Viva Baseball!, recognizing Latin American impact on baseball
By Samantha Carr, National Baseball Hall of Fame
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. — Nine Latinos have been elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. Now they have a place where their story is told.
The Hall of Fame opened a new, permanent exhibit Saturday entitled ¡Viva Baseball! The exhibit recognizes the Latin American impact on baseball through a celebration of Caribbean Basin countries and players.
"Today is a very significant day in the Museum's history as we open ¡Viva Baseball!" said Hall of Fame President Jeff Idelson. "Over the last 30 years, perhaps nothing has impacted baseball more than the rise of the Latino star and the number of Latino players making important contributions to the game every day."
