One of the first Latinos in the Major Leagues has passed away. Vic Power was a seven-time Gold Glove winner from Puerto Rico.
Power started his career with the Philadelphia Athletics in 1954. Aside from being a defensive wizard on the field, Power also completed the rarest of baseball feats when he stole home plate twice in the same game! Some players play a lifetime without stealing home once, and Power did it twice.
Power who was born in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, later returned to the isla del encanto where he managed several amateur teams and ran a youth baseball academy. Power passed away of cancer in Puerto Rico.
