Ozzie Virgil Sr. the first Dominican born player in the majors, died at the nice old age of 92:

Virgil became the first nonwhite Tigers player when he joined the team in 1958 via trade, 11 years after Jackie Robinson broke baseball’s color barrier. At the time, Virgil was considered the first Black Tigers player, but he was the first Dominican-born baseball player to play in the majors and the first Latino Tigers player.

My thoughts go out to his family and friends.

Virgil was a part-time player most of his career, posting numbers of a light hitting middle infielder catcher. His best season came in 1958, his first with Detroit, when he hit .244/.272/.363. He went on to coach for 19 years. His namesake son would go on to become an all-star catcher with the Phillies and Braves. He also paved the way for one of the most dominant nationalities in the history of the game.
