Description

In 1927 Cuban national Ignacio S. Molinet was recruited to play with the Frankford Yellow Jackets of the old NFL for a single season.

Mexican national José Martínez-Zorrilla achieved 1932 All-American honors.

These are the beginnings of the Latino experience in American Football, which continues amidst a remarkable and diversified setting of Hispanic nationalities and ethnic groups.

This history of Latinos in American Football dispels the myths that baseball, boxing, and soccer are the chosen and competent sports for Spanish-surname athletes.

The book documents their fascination for the sport that initially denied their participation but that could not discourage their determination to master the game.
