I am not disputing that Bellan played, the question is if the team he played for would be considered a Major Leage baseball club. In order to qualify as the first Latin Major League player you must first play for a major league team. The Troy Haymakers were not a Major league club. If you were to say they were a minor league professional ball team I would agree with that.

The contribution of latin players is important to me beacuse:
I love the history of baseball and I feel that there is little mention of the historical contributions of latin players. It suprising that a game that is so populated with latin players gives little attention to their history. I hope to bring more of that wonderful history to light.

Regards,
