The Top Latinos in MLB's League Championship Series

Bobby Abreu, Vladimir Guerrero, and Kendry Morales were the heroes in the Los Angeles Angels' defeat of the Boston Red Sox.

 

Alex Rodriguez, Jorge Posada, and Robinson Cano were among the hottest Yankee bats in the three-game sweep of the Minnesota Twins.

 

Rafael Furcal was one of the Dodgers' best hitters against the St. Louis Cardinals, and both Carlos Ruiz and Pedro Feliz were key players for the Phillies against the Colorado Rockies.

 

All above mentioned were Latinos that gave their best in the League Divisional Series, and fans from each team hope they do better in route to the ultimate goal: the World Series.

 

Through history, most seasons see a Latino player excel in a single moment or throughout a whole series.

 

This is my list of the 15 most distinguished Latino players in League Championship Series action:
