Bloomington Bloomers - Chico Hernandez

Bloomington Bloomers

Snap shot

I was able to pick up an awesome snap shot of Chico Hernandez attempting to make a play at the plate. Hopefully the ump didn’t need to review the photo to see that the ball is loose! What a shot!!! I’m going to dig more into the details of the photo to try to learn the name of the other players and the ump. Chico drove in 85 runs and hit .337 for the 1938 Bloomers. He went on to be a part of the first all Latin battery in MLB history when he caught Hiram Bithorn in a Cubs game in 1942.
