Cuban born Brooklyn Dodgers

[chiefpaddy]

With all the talk about the Cuban baseball team, I was wondering how many Cuban born players were on the Brooklyn Dodgers?The ones that come to mind are Sandy Amoros, Rene Valdez and Chico Fernandez. Do any others come to mind?

There's just one more that I can see, chiefpaddy -- Adolfo "Dolf" Luque (1930-31). I ran down the list on baseball-reference.com and didn't see any others, though I can't say I checked each and every name.

The Senators were the team with the Cuban pipeline.

Thanks VI, Iwas sure the Dodgers must have had more. THey had spring training in Cuba, I guess thats why I thought they had more of a cuban flavor then they did. You sure are right about the Washington Senators, they could have been called the Washington Senors.

How about Puerto Rican Dodgers? The one who comes immediately to mind is Luis Olmo. Overall, though, the team did not have that great a Latino presence (I won't get into the whole Clemente story again).
