Martin Dihigo, Hall of Fame baseball player

We remember today the life and times of Martin Dihigo, the great Cuban player and member of the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Dihigo was born on this day in 1905 and played in the Negro Leagues from 1923-47.

Dihigo was 42 by the time that Jackie Robinson broke "the color line" in 1947.    
We do know that Buck Leonard, the legendary player and manager of the Kansas City Monarchs said this:

"He was the greatest all-around player I know. I say he was the best player of all time, black or white. He could do it all."

He hit .304 over a 12 year career in the Negro Leagues.   He died in Cuba in 1971.

A word about May 25

We remember May 25:

"The Great Bambino":    Babe Ruth hit # 714 on this day in 1935.   He was playing for the Boston Braves after being released by the Yankees.    I am not even sure if he played another game for the Braves after hitting this homer.    It's a shame that he didn't play his last game as a Yankee.  He died in 1948 from cancer.

1941 and The streak:  Joe DiMaggio hit in his 11th consecutive game.     He went 1-for-4 against Hall of Famer Lefty Grove.
