World Series features record number of Latino players
World Series MVP Edgar Renteria, a native of Colombia, was one of 17 players from Latin America playing in the World Series -- a record for Major League Baseball. This series beat the previous record of 16 when the Yankees played the Marlins, according to a blog post on Hispanic Trending.
The majority of Latino players are from the Dominican Republic with eight native born players and Puerto Rico follows with three players. Mexico and Colombia each have a native-born player in the Series.
