Tributes in La Romana Latin Baseball Hall of Fame

David Ortiz and Robinson Cano were presented with awards at the Latin Baseball Hall of Fame celebration at the Altos de Chavon amphitheater on Saturday, 8 February. David Ortiz was honored as the Golden Latino for his performance with the Red Sox. He was given a standing ovation by the full house at the amphitheater. Felipe and Moises Alou were also honored that evening. Felipe Rojas Alou handed his son the statue that named him a Latin baseball immortal. “I am very proud of my son Moises, who is a winner in baseball and who should continue working for baseball,” said Felipe Rojas Alou. He urged his son to continue at the helm of the Leones del Escogido, a team he rescued after years of continued losses.

Moises Rojas is also responsible for the Dominican Republic’s win at last year’s World Baseball Classic.

On Saturday, 13 former Major League Baseball players were inducted to the Latin Baseball Hall of Fame at the Altos de Chavon ceremony.
