And, finally tonight, we note the passing of Chito Martinez, the first Belizeans ever to play in Major League Baseball in the United States.
Martinez played 268 games across three seasons with the Orioles between 1991 and 1993 and made Belize very proud during that period.
He was also the first Orioles player to record a hit in each of his first six MLB games.
Martinez died yesterday in Mississippi at the age. of 59. He had migrated to the US at the age of 2.
