I recently read an excellent review of a new book by Mario Longoria and Jorge Iber, Latinos in American Football: Pathbreakers on the Gridiron, 1927 to the Present. The review, published in the prestigious journal, Choice, commented that based on personal interviews and related research, “the authors tell stories of hardship, racism, dedication, and triumph...The careers of distinguished, trailblazing players and coaches and their successes in memorable games are recounted.” This essay is based on an interview with Mario Longoria about the book.
My Uncle's all played Football in San Antonio during the late 50s/early 60s. I even heard of a legendary story of my uncle setting a record for running yards in the mythical "Chili Bowl". A record that has yet to be broken!
