Ayala, Jesús

A special edition Selección trading card for Jesús Ayala, which includes his position and birth year (as that's all that is known about him), mentions that he was chosen with the 71st pick of the 23rd round, and that his career ended with zero errors or times caught stealing.

There were 1,950 stories in La Selección. Jesús Ayala is one of them—and for those of us interested in the league’s early history, a particularly funny one.

Sánchez, José

A special edition Selección trading card for José Sánchez, which includes his position, handedness, height and weight (but not his birthdate or birthplace, as those are unknown), mentions that he was chosen with the 29th pick of the 12th round, and that his career ended with a 1.000 fielding percentage and zero strikeouts.

Someone’s got to be the first to do everything, and 39-year-old José Sánchez, taken in the 12th round by the Vaqueros, did not let the chance pass him by.

1871: La Selección

When teams can only rely on very, very basic factors—size, speed, strength, stamina, and “smarts”—to decide which players to sign, interesting things happen.

1871: Ingenieros de Rincón

Some teams—admittedly, very few—went into the first season of the LNP with an idea of what they were doing. Then there’s the Ingenieros de Rincón.

1872: La Paliza

When a single baseball game enters history, either something has gone very well, or something has gone very badly. Remarkably, this game features both.
