The history of Hispanic baseball culture runs deep in the past of the New York Yankees. From Jorge Posada to Alfonso Soriano to Luis Severino, the Yankees have always been aided by great Hispanic players. To celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month (Sep. 15th – Oct. 15th) at Pinstripe Alley, we will be highlighting the stories of Hispanic Yankee greats both unheralded and iconic.
This week, we will celebrating the great career of the Puerto Rican native and former Yankee reliever, Luis “Tite” Arroyo. Arroyo was a member of the Yankee bullpen for four seasons, including the World Series winning teams in 1961 and 1962.
