Fernando Valenzuela & Ted Higuera

"It is often said that lightning doesn't strike the same place twice.  Perhaps not.  But any serious baseball fan would be remiss to miss the obvious similarities between two bolts of lightning that, a few years apart originated in Mexico and electrified the major league baseball scene.  Fernando Valenzuela and Ted Higuera; a pair of left-handed pitchers from Mexico, who have gone north of the border to become stars in America's pastime."—Fernando Paramo

"Chavez is not only a national hero in Mexico, but he has Madison Avenue charisma—the kind they're looking for in the big stars in sports.  Julio Cesar Chavez is now a world entity.  Just call him J.C. superstar."—Jack Welsh
