I tried that too, but it didn't help much cause I soon realized that the only baseball player I know is Babe Ruth...

Names ending in -es are Portuguese, not Hispanic.

No they're not. "Torres, Flores, Reyes, Morales, Ramos"...Those are actual words in Spanish. Maybe you're right for Gonzales, but not the others.

I've heard similar things said about Spanish surnames, i.e., Quiñónes is Puerto Rican, while Quiñónez is Mexican. I'm not so sure it's that cut-and-dried. And Hernán Cortés was certainly Spanish, so I doubt the Spanish/Portuguese distinction works either.

Completely and totally blanked. Tried a bunch of baseball players, but few of them actually worked.
