Dear Friends:
 
This special year of 2015 marks the 40th anniversary of the founding of the Latin American International Sports Hall of Fame and
we are proud to continue this heritage that has thrived ever since a small group of Laredo’s dedicated leaders joined together
in 1974 to assure the promotion of the contributions by Latinos in the sports world and in our culture. The Latin American
International Sports Hall of Fame, throughout these 40 years, has grown in prestige and many legendary sports figures and
personalities have graced our presence, including boxing greats, baseball heroes and coaching legends.

The Class of 2015 is special as we honor pioneers, individuals who have set the standards high and have dismantled stereotypes
while becoming champions on and off the field. Although we pay tribute to these legends and their great contributions by
preserving their names in the records for our Hall of Fame, they in turn honor us greatly by being here with us.

Andres Ramos, Jr., President Today, even more than ever, we continue to strive to fulfill our dream of establishing a Latin Sports Hall of Fame Museum
that would be the first of it’s kind in the US and will serve to offer people a close up view of the invaluable treasures collected
throughout the years. Visitors will soon be provided the opportunity to view the pictures of our honorees and study some of
the memorabilia that relives the historical moments at the upcoming Hall of Fame Center. This would not have been possible
without the generous support of the Benavides family who will be providing us with their building in historic downtown
Laredo. To them, we are eternally grateful.

Our deepest gratitude goes to all who have supported us throughout the last forty years and have helped keep this grand
project alive. It is because of our supporters that all this is possible. We look forward to the continued sharing of our culture
and accolades to be bestowed to the future generations. 

Adelante!

Latin Amer ican International Sports H all of Fame About The Latin American
International Sports Hall of Fame
th

AnniversaryLaredo, Texas Since 1975

In the United States, there are Sports Halls of Fame that honor professional and amateur athletes
in football, basketball, track, tennis, baseball and other sports. There are also ethnic halls of fame
that recognize outstanding athletes from different groups including Italian, Jewish, Irish and
blacks to name a few.

But, there was not a single sports hall of fame that would recognize, honor and salute the
outstanding accomplishments/achievements and contributions of our Latino/Hispanic Sports
Heritage not only from the United States but also those who came to this country from Mexico,
Cuba, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Central and South America and from the vast talent from
the Caribbean Islands.

The Latin-American International Sports Hall of Fame/Salon de Ia Fama Latinoamericano del
Deporte was organized in Laredo, Texas in 1974. At first it was to celebrate, honor and promote
local and regional individuals who had excelled at their particular sport but soon it opened the
doors to include National and International Professional Athletes. It also recognizes as Sportsman
of the Year individuals who continue to preserve and enhance our Latino culture, values and
educational opportunities for our youth and who contribute to the betterment of the City of
Laredo and South Texas.

There have been since its inception an equal recognition of women athletes inductees. It was
important to find role models for our youth and the organizers wanted to include all ages,
regardless of sex in their programs.

The Latin Hall was also created to promote economic development and stimulate business
activity in downtown Laredo when local businesses are contracted to provide services to our
inductees, their families and guests who visit Laredo during the annual 3-day welcome reception,
media luncheon and induction banquet celebration weekend.

Through the years. (1975-2014), and with limited amount of funds the organization has, had
the opportunity to help the youth of our community with scholarships and other youth activity
fundraisers. Plans are to have a Latin Sports International Hall of Fame Museum (downtown)
(soon) which will be a first for the United States and to provide clinics (free of charge) to instruct
our youth in different sports.

To be considered a legendary
goalkeeper, it is believed that one is
more than an effective shot-stopper
and a perfect physical specimen.

Olaf For many, legends are ones that are inspirational and who serve to
Heredia reassure their team that they can afford to take chances or suffer
missteps knowing that they have a dependable backup. It is the
Soccer - Goal Keeper legends that rise to the occasion and pledges to fans and their
FIFA World Cup countrymen that they will block the shot and not allow to be scored
México upon.
1986 For Olaf Heredia, his success, influence and inspiration has reached
beyond borders and culture and has won more than titles and prizes
but the hearts and minds of his peers, fans and followers. Heredia,
born Carlos Olaf Heredia Orozco in Apatzingan, Mexico, is the fifth
of seven children and remains the pride of many Latinos who have
followed his career with the Pumas (1978-1984), Tigres (1984-1987),
Morelia (1978-1990), Cruz Azul (1990-1993), and Santos Laguna
(1993-1997). Among the most outstanding of his career is that of
playing in the FIFA World Cup for Mexico in 1986.
Olaf Heredia is among the great Latino role models such as Luis
de la Fuente and Andres Guardado who set the standards for the
future generations of athletes. As the most popular sport in the
world, soccer has had a great impact on the United States primarily
attributed to the growing majority of political Latino markets
becoming more involved with Major League Soccer.
Olaf, among the known and unknown, is one who will continue
to serve as a great source of inspiration for generations to come
and it is appropriate that he is honored and recognized during this
special 40th anniversary when we unite to remember and preserve
all memories of leaders before. All symbolize the levels of fitness
and dedication that sportsmen like Heredia endorses and that is of
practice and training, which is what leads to success.

An example of a sports career that
is directly tied into the premise of
our organization is that of sports
historian Carlos Trevino who has
been dedicated to preserving and
reporting for posterity.

Carlos Treviño In essence, the legacy of Trevino is that he was in the front lines of
recording many of those hall of fame recipients that we have honored
Deportista/ Historiador de Beisbol and continue to honor. Specifically, he has provided a large portion of
“El Rey de los Deportes-Beisbol” the history that we strive to retain for ourselves and, curiously, he has
Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas unknowingly supplied himself as an active and proud historian.
1960s Trevino took on a big plate in choosing to cover Texas and New Mexico
sports throughout his career, but then it seems befitting for a dreamer
with big dreams. Without proud pioneers like him, we would today be
without much of the history that has been preserved because of stewards
like Trevino.
For many Latinos, Carlos is a role model for those who want to follow their
passion. He has experienced the struggles and challenges of the world of
sports first hand and served as a beacon of experience for all those willing
to commit their time in any way. His invaluable service is one that cannot
be measure for it influence and effect on today’s generation. As with most
leaders, their legacy is one that passes the test of time.
It is through this recognition and honor bestowed to Mr. Trevino that we
aim to preserve him and all his contributions to sports. The journey comes
full circle through our acknowledgement that it is time to honor those who
have honored us with their coverage throughout their careers.
We stand assured that our commitment to conservation of the past will
always be thankfully carried on by those future generations that Trevino
has touched throughout his life.

Latin Amer ican International Sports H all of Fame Jose Lothario

th Wrestling

AnniversaryLaredo, Texas Since 1975 Jose Jose Lothario born Guadalupe G. Robledo on December 12
Lothario 1934 in Torreon Mexico. Jose is one of 8 children born to
his parents. At the age of 9 he was kicked out of his home
World Class Wrestling and forced to live on his own on the streets of Torreon. Jose
6 Time World learned at a very young age that he would have to take
Champion care of himself. Learning how to work odd jobs the streets
4 decades became a way of life.

Jose had become friends with some wrestlers that had suggested to him that he begin
training to be a boxer. After several years of boxing his weight and growth was too big
for the boxing level he was at so a friend had suggested that he transfer to learning to
wrestle and that is where it all began. Wrestling in Mexico drew attention of promoters in
the United States wanting to bring in the Hispanic wrestlers. In 1956 Jose began traveling
back and forth between the US and Mexico. Gaining in popularity the promoters asked
Jose to consider staying in the United States to travel all throughout the country. Jose lived
first in Arizona then moved to California for a few years, then moved to Florida where he
met his wife Jean. After a couple of years in Florida Jose was approached about a new
promotion in Texas, therefore moving him to San Antonio Texas where he still lives. Jose
continued his wrestling career as well as taking on the roll of promoter for South Texas and
booking venues for World Class Championship Wrestling. During this time it allowed him
the opportunity to travel to Laredo Texas nearly every other week for over 10 years.
During the 10 plus years that Jose headlined countless main events in Laredo, he was
extremely instrumental in helping The Laredo Noon Optimist Club raise significant
amounts of funds that were distributed by The Club to various youth oriented charities
throughout the community. From the youngest wrestling fan to the oldest senior
citizen – Jose was a sports icon who was loved and adored by wrestling fans throughout
Laredo. Throughout the years Jose visited Laredo, he would always make time to help The
Optimist Club and their constant desire to raise money to help the youth of Laredo. Jose
never forget about Laredo and Laredo will never forget Jose!
Jose enjoyed over 40 years in the professional wrestling world as wrestling has always
been in his blood, he also trained some of the best known wrestlers like Gino Hernandez,
The Von Ericks and Shawn Michaels. Wrestling was the greatest career for Jose to
have, not only did it afford the opportunity to travel the world it also provided him the
opportunity to help others and use his popularity to bring awareness or help raise funds
for many of charities and non-profit organizations. Jose currently still lives in San Antonio
with his wife of 45 years and spends his time with his 3 children, 4 grandchildren and 4
great grandchildren.

Ernesto AnniversaryLaredo, Texas Since 1975

Uribe The journey of Ernesto Uribe begins with his birthplace in Hebbronville,
Track - Hurdler/ Sprinter Texas and leads to the beginning of his sporting career on the track
Texas A&M University team at Raymond and Tirza Martin High School in neighboring Laredo
1957 - 1960 where he was raised and taken under the wings of great mentors.

Ernesto attributes his success to coaches and brothers Johnny and Alfonso Valls who, along
with Col. Oscar Hein and Coach Albert Ochoa, guided and inspired his pathway to college after
graduation in 1956. Good fortune followed through his collegiate passage as roommates and
coaches continued to further help him attain two undergraduate degrees (Agriculture Education
and Journalism) and then a Masters in Sociology from Texas A&M University. Here also, with
the beginning of his college freshman year, he dated his future wife Sarah Meade who was from
Laredo Martin as well and married in 1959.
The legacy left by Uribe is that of lettering in both high school track and football where the Valls
brothers coached and trained the potential they saw in this young man and who Ernesto attributes
his success to for their dedication and preparation time invested in him. Entering Texas A&M
College with a full athletic scholarship landed Uribe in the Aggie varsity track team where he ran
all hurdle and sprint events and surprised the coaches by beating all but one upperclassman. Uribe
has always considered himself a team player, and it is this discipline and training that has instilled
in him the appreciation for those who have taken the time to educate and motive the younger
generation. Through inspiration and motivation, Ernesto claims, leaders such as Coach Ochoa offer
hope and encouragement for a college future.
A thirty-year career trek lists national and international workforce skills and experiences from
around the world in various capacities in International Communication and Diplomacy. Uribe
possesses in-depth knowledge of all media relations, public relations and is a Latin American
specialist founded on his extensive field experience in Central America, South America and the
Caribbean. Uribe recalls many bosses who were wonderful mentors and who offered their time
guiding him through the intrigue and challenges of his career. He attributes his good fortune
along the way to‘someone up there watching”over him. Now retired, Uribe has amassed an
interesting collection of novels, journals and other publications, many of which address Hispanic
culture and academic patterns of behavior when choosing a college.
Uribe is well aware of the trends and patterns that are being set up for the future that anticipates
the turning tides of the Hispanic American leading the nation as a political majority being
aggressively courted by both Democratic and Republicans willing to invest academic funding
sources for the future Latino votes. Primarily, because of this current state of affairs among our
culture and relations with others, it is essential that the future generation must prepare with
an education or any kind of training. All kinds of skills are necessary, Uribe notes, for the future
generation of Latinos and all cultures of the melting pot of America.

For Dr. Alfredo Trevino, challenge and adventure have led
his interests in both tennis and medicine, which he sought
specifically for the test of his own skills and capabilities. At a
very young age, teachers,

Dr. Alfredo Family and friends knew that medicine was his career goal and it carried on to his alma
Treviño mater at Martin High School in Laredo, Texas where he took on the challenges found
in the popular sport of tennis. He found tennis to be fun and it also opened up many
Tennis valuable opportunities of which he took advantage to the fullest. In the field of medicine,
First Hispanic President Trevino aimed to be a general practitioner, however, he learned early on that he preferred
US Tennis Association, Texas to pursue ophthalmology. Perhaps, because of his younger years when his car mechanic
father taught him, becoming an ophthalmologist was the natural course to follow.
2011 - 2012 Today, he stands assured that he made the right choices and continues his practice in the
hometown that offered him so many opportunities for service and success.
Along with his Air Force military service, Trevino went on to obtain many honors from
such organizations as Doctors Hospital, Rotary Club and the National Tennis League.
Among his most notable honors is that of becoming the first Hispanic President of
the United States Tennis Association – Texas (2011-2012). His community service is
unyielding providing great opportunities to such organizations as Laredo Boys and Girls
Club, St. Augustine High School, Laredo Border Olympics and Laredo Tennis Association.
For his Latino community of Laredo and Webb County, Dr. Trevino remains directly
involved with any team, school or service group seeking to provide as many scholarships
to students as possible in an effort to keep the momentum of desiring to obtain an
education. Hope and dedication is offered from both ends of the funding spectrum as
providers see hope of their investment and recipients see the dedication required for
success.
Dr. Trevino, from the onset, helped pave the road for future Latinos in the field of tennis
when in the beginning of his young tennis career there were few teammates representing
Hispanics. Although he did not personally experience any harsh or direct discrimination
for being Hispanic, he did see the need to promote the sport among the Latino
community whenever possible. Dr. Trevino’s advise for the future generations of Latinos
is that one must be prepared. Mental preparation, as with any sport, is one that requires
specific types of training and you can only find the type of training you need through an
educational institution. Therefore, one must take any opportunity given, both big and
small, to journey their way through to a future that is set to take on the new leaders and
we must all strive to be among those leaders.

Dr. Alfredo Trevino

Thank you for your hard work, dedication and commitment to
the tennis community in Laredo.

Congratulations For being the first Hispanic Texas State President of the

Hinojosa
Herberto “Herbie” Hinojosa ,
Horseracing - Jockey multi-stakes horse racing jockey
Multi Stakes in North America was born in
Brownsville, Texas and started
3 Triple Crown racing horses at the young age
Campaigns of eight. Once the leading stakes
1960s - 70s rider in the world, he was in three
Triple Crown campaigns.

At the 1961 Belmont Stakes he outran the Kentucky and Preakness
winner“Carryback”. In the 1974 Preakness Stakes, he was second ahead of
“Cannonade”whose prior win was the Kentucky Derby and in 1978, he was
fourth behind“Affirmed,”the last Triple Crown winner.
Hinojosa won races over top winning jockeys such as Willie Shoemaker,
Johnny Longdren, Bill Hartack and Eddie Arcaro in top stakes races
throughout his career. In his latter years, of racing, Hinojosa would mentor
apprentices that became jockey stars like Angel Cordero Jr., Chris McCarron
and Julie Krone.
He also won races for Roy Rogers, Cliff Robertson and Audie Murphy during
his Quarterhorse tour of the west coast. Hitting four homeruns in a game is
a major feat to accomplish in sports and equivalent to winning six races in
a single card. Herbie did it more than twice in his career. He was a multiple
graded stakes winner who became the 31st North American jockey to
reach his 3,000th win in 1981. He had 25,160 career starts, winning 3,334
coming in second 3,349 and third 3,246 times with total earnings of
$17,962,176.
These numbers did not include his prior ten years of racing Quarterhorses
in the Southwest tracks of New Mexico, Arizona and California where he
became the leading rider of the State of New Mexico.
In 1963, Hinojosa’s yearly earnings were greater than football’s Jim Brown;
basketball’s Wilt Chamberlain; golfs Jack Nicklaus and baseball’s Mickey
Mantle.
After riding for fifty years and experiencing every race track in the United
States and Canada, Herbie returned to his hometown of Brownsville, Texas.

Congratulations Herbie!

“Manolo” Manuel Rangel continues to serve his community with the
passion and stamina that he delivered as the Nixon High School
Rangel Varsity Basketball Team Captain during his senior year and
through it all.
Baseball Coach
Pony League As a dedicated family man, Rangel admits that his parents Jose and Maria Rangel, along
14 & under with the rest of his family, are all proud of his accomplishments yet he points out that it
World Series was through the training and discipline taught by these faithful Catholic role models that
Champions he was able to reach such heights. Growing up, Rangel remembers, our responsibility
was to try our best. The end goal was not only to win but also to do your best and enjoy
Washington, PA the game.
2011 Upon graduation, Manuel continued his academic pursuits at the University of Texas
in Austin, proudly joining the Class of 1986. He continues to serve the community as a
dedicated leader and offers his volunteer services to youth sports such as High School
Scorekeeper for both LISD and UISD Basketball. He has led as Board of Director for Border
Olympics and annually holds the management position for the Del Mar Little League
Junior/Senior Division. In 2011, Rangel managed the PONY 14U Division leading them
to the World Series Championship in Washington, PA. Laredo and the Latino community
will forever retain the memories of achievement, hope and dedication that remain in the
hearts and minds of those who lived it.
As a Latino role model, Rangel directs his attention to his upbringing which stipulated
that one serves the community by giving back in honor of those who provided for us in
some way, shape or form. Manuel insists that we must take action and be an example
of good teamwork and cooperation and avoid the negative mentality of selfishness. Life
demands action, Rangel advises, and we all have an obligation to give back through
actions and more specifically, through positive actions. He adds,“The truth of the matter
is, I love coaching and teaching. No one does it for long or very well if they don’t love
doing it in the first place.” Do what you love, he recommends; follow your passion.
For future generations, Rangel advises to be prepared, specifically to be prepared through
education. All should aim to attend college and continue going as far as you can. We
must always strive for more, he claims, but not in a selfish way. Rangel states,“The
future is there for all to claim, but we must be prepared to receive what it has to offer.”
In other words, the key to success and happiness is based on the training and it is this
training that Rangel knows best as a child from a strong, disciplined culture that is the
legacy we celebrate and honor today. Remembering our roots and those who paved the
way before us so that we may have what we have today is important, Rangel points out,
for continued progress.

Congratulations Manolo on your

Bill Hrncir has been a self- MSpoetaivkaetrional
proclaimed athlete for as long Co-Founder
as he can remember. He played LSaurpepdoortStGrrookuep
football, basketball, baseball,
and ran track in high school for
the United Longhorns.

He continued to show heart and hustle on the basketball court for the LJC Palominos
under Coach Dave Segler. Bill picked up running and biking in his adult years. He
competed in 5K’s & 10K’s as well as the Congress Avenue Mile, where he placed first
in his age group with a time of 4:24 and track competitions where he ranked 3rd in
1995 in the 800 meters with a time of 1:57.7 and 4th in 1996 with a 1:58.4 finish in
the U.S. Masters Track and Field Rankings. He enjoyed biking races around Texas, and
even a couple in Mexico.
Bill not only participated in sports, but coached young Laredo athletes. He could be
found mowing the Little League baseball field in south Laredo so his boys would have
a nice field to play on, as well as building a little“gym”in his back yard to mentor
young players on their journey to sports fame. On any given weekend, he would
inspire the boys to take on a team that was bigger and stronger than they were to
help build their strength and character as well as molding their team spirit.
Bill had a stroke in 2006, but as is true Bill Hrncir form, he did not let that stop him
from giving his all. He strives to work out daily with therapists and trainers and
continues to ride his bike. He motivates others by coaching his fellow stroke survivors
to exercise more, eat better, and he is training some of the men to ride a bike again!
He has given his“Stroke Story”speech to a variety of audiences in Laredo and Austin
to help other survivors and to give a survivor’s side of the story to the medical
community. Talk about Animo!
Bill does all this while running his businesses, co-founding the Laredo Stroke Support
Group and helping to bring Austin Speech Labs to Laredo. Bill is married to Deedee
Zuniga and they have two children, Alli and Bill Jr.
Bill Hrncir is a go-getter who never says no to a challenge and can probably still beat
the pants off of some of his comrades. Go, Bill, Go!

Congratulations Bill for your athletic
success at United High and LJC.
You are a true inspiration to your

Guadalupe “Lupito” Gonzalez Latin Amer ican International Sports H all of Fame

Special Recognition th

In his younger years he played AnniversaryLaredo, Texas Since 1975
baseball, and softball. He later
became an umpire for softball
and little league games. One of
his favorite calls was “strike inside
corner”. One time during a game Mr.
Lalo Cavazos protested the call and
said, “Lupito that is a bad call”. His
reply was, “Strike inside corner. Mr.
Cavazos, please go to your dugout”.

LUPITO In the late so’s Lalo asked him if he wanted to mark
GONZALEZ softball fields for Sunday Morning League. He agreed
and marked fields for over 30 years.
Umpire At that time Sunday Morning League did not have
Softball/Little League many teams and they played two Sunday games
starting at 10am. By the 6o’s it became so popular
Softball Fields that it expanded to 32 teams. He created his own
Grounds Keeper equipment in order to mark the fields faster. Hot or
cold he, his wife, and his son Beto would mark 16 fields
30 years and have them ready by 10am on Sunday.
He would often start marking fields on Saturday
afternoon and on Sunday morning he would start
marking at 6am in order to finish all the fields by game
time, 10am. Lupito would also mark little league fields,
soccer fields and baseball fields - sometimes for free
just to help out the different leagues. He never said no
to anyone who needed help.
He was a noble person and his pride and joy was his
family, his work, and sports. When his grandchildren
played sports, he, his wife, and his son Beto were
always the first spectators in the stands.

Sincere gratitude Mr. Gonzalez for the many years
of time and dedication to the sports community, as

a player, umpire & grounds keeper.
