Baseball in the Sunshine State
A few months ago I submitted my senior thesis: 60 pages exploring the media portrayal of Latino baseball players, with a specific focus on the memorialization of Roberto Clemente and its subsequent influence on future Latin players. I follow one of my primary critics on Twitter, and two days after my submission he posted a link to apply for a Yoseloff Scholarship to attend the annual SABR convention in Miami. Each year the convention has a theme, often based off the host city, and this year’s theme was Latinos in baseball.
