LUIS ANGEL MARQUEZ
NACIDO EN AGUADILLA
3 DE 20
BIOGRAPHY:
Luis Angel "Canena" Márquez Sánchez
(October 28, 1925-March 1, 1988, Aguadilla, Puerto Rico) was a professional baseball player. He was the third
Puerto Rican
to play in the major leagues (after Hiram Bithorn and Luis Rodriguez Olmo). Márquez played in a total of 68 games in the major leagues, split in two seasons between the Boston Braves, the Chicago Cubs, and the Pittsburg Pirates. His final game was on July 11, 1954.
Márquez was involved in baseball throughout his life as player, coach, trainer, and Little League coach. Márquez was murdered in Puerto Rico, as he was shot during a domestic dispute.
The municipal baseball stadium in Aguadilla is named for him. Should Major League Baseball approve the use of the field for winter league use, the stadium will temporarily host the Indios de Mayaguez during the Puerto Rican Professional Baseball League seasons of 2007-08 and 2008-09, since Mayagüez's Isidoro Garcia Baseball Stadium will be demolished and rebuilt in time for the 2010 Central American and Caribbean Games.

SPANISH / ENGLISH:
En 1942, el joven Hiram Bithorn se nos convierte en nuestro primer Toletero Boricua en alcanzar las Grandes Ligas. Desde ése entonces, Puerto Rico, cuna de grandes deportistas, se ha destacado a nivel mundial como productor de peloteros profesionales, con con unos 252 que han llegado a las Grandes Ligas, cosa que nos enorgullece como pueblo. Hoy por hoy son muchos de nuestros campeones que le sirven de arbitros, entrenadores, y entrevistadores que recorren la America Latina, y sobre todo el Caribe, en busca de buenos prospectos para las Grandes Ligas. Este set busca perpetuar este acontecimiento histórico, homenajeando, al menos a nuestros primeros 20, con el propósito de perpetuar sus hazañas y servirle de ejemplo a nuestra juventud.
Since our young, 100% rice and beans raised Hiram Bithorn came into the Major League Baseball, world professional baseball has seen more than 252 of our Boricua Islanders belong to its ranks, a source of endless pride for all of us Puerto Ricans, for whom Baseball is and will always be one our favorite national sports. From Bithorn to Roberto Clemente to Orlando Cepeda to Alex Rodriguez, and many others, many of our Professional Baseball players have ended as umpires, trainers, and spotters of young prospects, around Latin America, specially in the Caribbean, helping raise the bar in defining equality and ending racial and cultural prejudice against minorities, while spreading an American borne, and one of America's favorite sports of all times to the world stage, even to places like modern Japan, where Baseball is king.  This medal here is part of a 20 medal series, which will honor the first Puerto Ricans to join the MLB, many of whom already served on the extremely competitive environment of the equally prestigious Negro Leagues.
ANVERSO / OBVERSE:
Posee la imagen y el nombre del Toletero, junto con el pueblo y año en que nace, y número de turno que hace, dentro del listado de Boricuas en entrar a las Grandes Ligas. Cada imagen se halla resguardada a su derecha por una rama de olivo, símbolo de la victoria, y a su izquierda por una breve linea escrita, indicatoria del equipo de Grandes Ligas, y la Liga (si Nacional o Americana), a través de la cual el toletero entra a la MLB, y año que entra.
The obverse shows the image and name of the Baseball player, along with the name of the town of origin and year the player was born. The number at the top of the home town is the turn number within the roster of Puerto Ricans who have made it into the Major League Baseball. To the right of the player is a branch of olive, simbol of victory, while to the lower left of the player is a line which tells with which Major League Baseball the player made it to the MLB, whether it was with the American or National League, and the year the player made it into the MLB.
REVERSO / REVERSE:
El reverso, similar para todas las medallas de esta novedosa serie coleccionable, es nuestra primera pieza bilingue, arriba en Español, debajo en Inglés. Arriba, sobre las banderas de Puerto Rico, dice " Serie Beisbol Boricua de las Grandes Ligas ".  Al centro tiene una estrella solitaria, bajo la cual dice " Puerto Rico 2010 ", y debajo de ésta aparece un diamante de juego, sobre el cual aparece en inglés: " Puerto Rican Legends (of the) Major League Baseball ".
The reverse, similar to all the medals of this wonderfully short and new collectable series, shows our first bilingual medal: It is in Spanish at the top, and in English at the bottom, all due to the importance of the accomplishments these players made while playing for the best American Baseball teams and their legacy left within the history of those teams, and to the cities to where the teams belong. Each reverse is flanked by two Puerto Rico flags, above which it tells about the medal series in Spanish.  Below, it reads: " Puerto Rico 2010 " and below is a baseball field, across which it says " Puerto Rican Legends (of the) Major League Baseball ".  It also states 24K GP (Gold Plate) & 1/100 (total mintage).

Cada pieza ha sido fabricada con terminación en Oro sólido (puro, 24K GP) sobre una base de bronce.

PACKAGING
Enviamos dentro de mica, cartón, cápsula, o protector acrílico, envuelto entre cartón grueso o burbuja, dentro de sobre o caja sellado con cinta adhesiva a los 4 lados. Haremos todo lo posible por resolver su problema y ganar su satisfacción. Algunas medalla o moneda quizá sea enviada en cápsula de acrílico como cortesía nuestra. Debido a que usted pagó por la medalla o moneda, y no por la cápsula, nosotros no somos responsables de reemplazar cápsulas recibidas rotas. Debido a que las medallas vienen con alguna que otra imperfección de fábrica, es normal que una medalla contenga algún rayacito o cantacito mínimo de lo cual no somos responsables. Las antiguedades que vendemos tienen imperfecciones por vejez, uso y desgaste, que pudieran no reflejarse en las fotos. Por eso sólo reemplazaremos o devolveremos dinero en caso de mercancía recibida gravemente dañada. Clientes que abusen con reclamaciones exageradas e infundadas serán bloqueados en el futuro.
Items are put inside plastic wrap, coin flip or capsule, foam insert, card protector, bank note jacket, FDC jacket, or similar protective method, then shipped padded within card board or bubble wrap inside an envelope or box. We’ll do everything we can to help you and get your 5 stars. Some medals or coins may be shipped inside plastic capsules as a courtesy of ours. Because you paid for a medal or coin, and not for an acrylic capsule, we are not to be held responsible over capsules received cracked or broken. Medals received from the factory will feature minor scratches or nicks over which we shouldn't be held responsible. Likewise, vintage items we sell may feature imperfections due to age, tear, and wear, which may not reflect on the photos. Due to this, we will only replace or provide refund on items received greatly damaged. Clients maliciously seeking to take advantage of the system by placing bogus or exaggerated claims will be blocked from making future business with us.
