Puerto Rican Baseball Prospects Shine as Cedar Rapids Contenders
Luis, one of eight children from Aibonito, Puerto Rico, rose from poverty to pro baseball after batting .450 in the Bithorn league in 1965. Signed by Cardinal Scout Carlos Negron, he dreams big as he eyes a first season with the Cedar Rapids club in a bid to clinch the first-half pennant ending June 29. He famously hit a home run off a Puerto Rico Dodgers prototype pitcher who had delivered 57% scoreless innings, a moment he recalls as a career highlight.
