These riveting personalities each achieved excellence, but even greater than their individual accomplishments is the positive Hispanic image they collectively represent to the world. Photographs, illustrations, and lively text tell the stories ot these fascinating historical figures. In 1990, Martinez came to the United States from his home in the Dominican Republic and since then has become a pitching legend. In 2004, the three-time Cy Young Award winner helped lead the Boston Red Sox to their first World Series win since 1918.
