Matamoros won on this day 49 to 32. The game was advertised as the "Border Championship."
* A black baseball player (still alive) who lives in the Rio Grande Valley was the first player to break the Little League color line.

Playball! (is one word, you ignorant stupid Mexican!!!!!)
play ball
1. Cooperate, as in The opposing attorneys refused to play ball with us. [Slang; c. 1900]
2. Get going, start, as in It's time to get a move on; let's play ball. This usage comes from the baseball umpire's call to start a game.
You are mistaken when you play with MY balls it's one word playball but when you play baseball to start the game its play ball.
Please don't mistake my balls with your ignorance.
Stupid hillbilly
Why Edinburg ? Why not Brownsville ? Sold Out our National Champion Volleyball Team & all of the History of Scorpion Baseball ! Took away the chance for our local area talent to play college sports in Brownsville ! Golf, Soccer, Basketball, Volleyball, Baseball ! All for Hidalgo County instead, Wow !
ROMAN PEREZ FOR SCHOOL BOARD! He will keep boys out of the little girls restrooms!!!!
No pos wow!!!.....hahaha.
It's disgusting to view readers derogatory comments which have nothing to do with such an informative article about community leader and Brownsville icon Rene Torres. Rene's history of valley baseball, including Brownsville is nationally acclaimed and some of his works appear frequently in the Brownsville Herald and at the Brownsville Historical Museum. He brings back a lot of great memories for all who played area baseball. Keep up the good work Rene.
Icon??? Is that why edinburg and NOT brownsville, think about it YOUR ICON!!!
You can say neurodegenerative diseases are diseases of a dirty brain and mind. You at 8:41 have a neurodegenerative disease pick up a book or even the bible so you can calm your wondering mind.
I'm just waiting for this stew to hot up, and then we'll be ready to eat!
I feel like my relationship with an idol is really beginning to hot up.
Next she'll want a road named after her idol, or a water tower. WAIT I have a better idea "A BIKE TRAIL".
Ever heard of euphemism? Idiot
Euphemism definition: A euphemism is a literary and rhetorical term that refers to a word or phrase that makes another word or phrase less harsh. A euphemism is a substitute of a harsh term for a milder term.
To icon disliker and to the stew maker, as I mentioned before, its even more disgusting for readers to make bad comments which don't make sense about articles or information they know nothing about. fyi, Rene did not sell out Brownsville, he was only invited to speak at an exhibition sponsored by UT-RGV Edinburg and the Smithsonian Institute. This exhibition was in Missouri last week and will move to Abilene next week. Keep up the good work Montoya.
I played baseball and I don't remember him. Was he with the Charros or the Brownies, the giants, palms, grapefruits or the San Benito Saints??? What semi or pro team did he play with?
Are you a baseball fan or just one icon fan?
To 1:27, I am both a baseball fan and one icon fan. Rene and his brothers and brothers in law were very involved in Brownsville baseball and softball probably before your time. I played with some of his brothers. The Brownsville Herald ran a great story on him on July 21, 2018 which lists all of his accomplishments. I recommend you look it up.
