| Who's next? |
| The only Puerto Rican player
in the minors as of now is Jose Reyes he is rated 2nd in the minors
is really actually the only Puerto Rican minor leaguer who has not
seen a second in the majors.
Looking to make a comeback to the majors is Carlos Baegra, who
is now playing in the Puerto Rican winter league.

| Who's the best? |
| The
three men pictured are some of the best in the game and all of theme
came out of Puerto Rico. Another bunch of great Puerto Ricans
are Rey Sanchez, Javy Lopez, Benito Santiago, Javier Vasquez, Bernie
Williams, and Sandy Alomar junior. The only two brothers to
ever be on the same team and make it to the all-star game are the
Alomar brothers.
Most Puerto Ricans that are in the MLB have loved the idea of
playing back in there homeland (which is where the Expos are playing
65 games) some have not liked the idea and have stayed home when
there teams went to Puerto Rico.
