All-Latino baseball team: The best all-time lineup of players born in Latin America at large
As part of Hispanic Heritage Month, USA TODAY Sports put together All-Latino baseball lineups from throughout Latin America.
While it can be fairly easy to assemble a team of major leaguers from any number of baseball hotspots in Latin America, there are a few other countries that have produced quality players -- but just haven't produced them in large quantities.
That's why we've assembled one final lineup comprised of players from Latin American nations such as Nicaragua, Colombia, Aruba, Curacao and Brazil.
