Today is one of my favorite days of the baseball season and it has nothing to do with the major league team. July 2nd is International Signing Day because the window to sign players from other countries opens again with an entirely new crop of players. Typically, the players signed today are teenagers from Latin America, and they must be at least 16 years old to sign.
The reason I enjoy this day so much is because of the incredible impact players from the Latin America market have had on baseball. Specifically for the Yankees, they have had great success identifying future stars.
