Mexico Needs to Increase Imports (of Baseballers)
Arte Moreno has worked very hard to expand his fan base in southern California. (The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim: The “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Los Angeles” of professional baseball.) He sends Angels TV commercials and billboards deep into L.A. County and has no plans to cede ground to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Moreno also has no compunctions about targeting skilled Latin players. Vladimir Guerrero, Kelvim Escobar, and Bartolo Colón are just a few of the Spanish-speaking stars to join the franchise since Moreno’s arrival. If he wants to extend the marketing reach of the Angels well past the border, though, he might consider signing the best Mexicans to ever play the game.
