In this episode of Rounding Third from BadderSports, Peter Lemieux dives deep into the remarkable story of Minnie Miñoso — the first Latin American player in Major League Baseball and a Chicago White Sox legend.

From his early days in Cuba and the Negro Leagues to breaking barriers in MLB and becoming one of the best all-around players of his era, Miñoso’s story is one of talent, perseverance, and history-making impact. We’ll also explore the highs and lows of the White Sox franchise, the infamous Black Sox scandal, and the long road to Miñoso’s long-overdue Hall of Fame induction.

Whether you’re a die-hard White Sox fan, a baseball history buff, or someone who loves stories about overcoming the odds, this is one you can’t miss.
