The Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York is a place of honor. That's where baseball's greatest players are forever enshrined. But what if I told you that, at one time, the Hall of Fame only honored some of the game's legends? That was the case in 1966, when Ted Williams was inducted in Cooperstown. At the time, the public didn't know that Williams was of Hispanic descent. In what marked the first time a Latino made the Hall of Fame, Williams made a challenge. This challenge would eventually open doors for other minority legends, thus making the Baseball Hall of Fame what it is now.
