Latino athletes have been excelling in Major League Baseball for decades. But the first player of Hispanic heritage to be inducted into the Hall of Fame rarely talked about his Mexican roots.
SAN DIEGO — It's a mystery that biographers of San Diego baseball legend Ted Williams took years to unravel.
Williams had a difficult childhood growing up in North Park. “He came from a broken home. And he came from a home where he was a little embarrassed by his mother," Nowlin said, explaining that Williams mother, May, was often away from home in the evening, combing through San Diego bars to proselytize about Christianity. In his autobiography, Williams only mentioned May's heritage once, saying she was part Mexican and part French.
