Trivia: Who can name the players and what was the significance of the photo? This photo was taken at the 1965 All-Star Game played at Metropolitan Stadium in Minneapolis.

From Left to Right: Felix Mantilla (Puerto Rico), Roberto Clemente (Puerto Rico) Tony Oliva (Cuba), Cookie Rojas (Cuba), Juan Marichal (Dominican Republic), Zoilo Versalles (Cuba), Vic Davalillo (Venezuela) and Leo Cárdenas (Cuba). Eight Latinos at the 1965 All-Star Game, which was a "big deal" back then.

Re: United States citizenship. On March 2, 1917, the Jones–Shafroth Act was signed, collectively making Puerto Ricans United States citizens without rescinding their Puerto Rican citizenship.

Technically that is incorrect. Both Felix Mantilla and Roberto Clemente are Puerto Ricans which make them US citizens (i.e. Americans too).[/QUOTE]
