Latino athletes have been excelling in Major League Baseball for decades. But the first player of Hispanic heritage to be inducted into the Hall of Fame rarely talked about his Mexican roots.

In his autobiography, Williams only mentioned May's heritage once, saying she was part Mexican and part French.
