All-Latino baseball teams: The best all-time lineups of Latin American players

How stacked is the Dominican Republic? Hitting 448 career home runs isn't enough to crack the all-time starting lineup.

First player to ever hit at least 40 home runs and steal at least 40 bases in the same season? Not on the Cuban squad.

Only player to catch 2,000 games with one team? Impressive, but Puerto Rico's starting catcher is in the Hall of Fame.

And those 11 Gold Gloves at shortstop? Won't get you on Team Venezuela.

Those accomplishments belong to Nelson Cruz, José Canseco, Omar Vizquel and Yadier Molina, respectively, who — among others with All-Star and even Hall of Fame credentials — didn't make the cut when USA TODAY Sports put together its best all-time lineups from Latin America.
