According to UPI | Number of MLB Players by Nationality:

United States of America - 525
Dominican Republic - 90
Venezuela - 53
Cuba - 20
Puerto Rico - 19
Mexico - 8
Canada - 6
Japan - 6
Curacao - 5
South Korea - 5
Colombia - 4
Germany - 2
Australia, Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, Aruba, Brazil, Panama - 1

So the MLB players are not really coming from the West Indies cricket countries.

Molina is an exception guy where he doesn't have the WAR or counting stats to really deserve the Hall but will 100% get in because he was like the platonic ideal of the franchise catcher.

"played for only one team" always gives a boost to people.

Also from a few pages ago, I have no idea who the Saudi player is, because there have only been 2, and the last one played in 2019 (both were born there to American parents working there.)

Looking at their stat sheets, I have no idea why Altuve got it over Judge. Not wanting to give it to a rookie? All baseball writers are short?





The HR total gives it away but absent that you'd assume the top stat line was the MVP winner.

Oooh it's the BA isn't it...

Writers hate strikeouts
