Albert Pujols with Manny Ramirez in a close second.Manny was born were I was born and grew up in the same neighborhood I grew up.

 

[madbull34]

Nomo and Ichiro are my favorites. But since I'm Japanese American, I'll also throw in Kurt Suzuki.

Canadian: Larry Walker
Jamaican: ???

Justin Masterson was born in Jamaica

 

[Reyes7tulo2]

Nick Markakis... he's basically the only one.

 

[autocut]

Hmm...

I'm American, so I'll have to go with mid 80's Dwight Gooden.

No one is "American" we all have roots from somewhere else.

I was born here, but my family came from Portugal.

Unless you are native American.

 

[RandomH]

Aloisius Szymanski, better known as Al Simmons. Thinking about starting a new collection of him....

 

[starwarsfan2003]

Nick Markakis... he's basically the only one.

Ahh fellow Greek on the board... For right now I'd go with Markakis also. but there's been quite a few Greek ballplayers over the years, like Al Campanis, Harry Agganis, Milt Pappas, Erik Karros.... not major superstars, but did make the big show from the 50's-90's. I was rooting for George Kottaras to make a big splash, but he kinda didnt pan out, and we always have hope for Mike Moustakas

This is my favorite player from my favorite set. All your Heritage are belong to me.

I'm not Portuguese, but I'm fairly sure that Gomes is about as Portuguese a name as one can have.

[goblue6919]

Olaf Henriksen is the only Danish born mlb player so I guess it's him.

He played for the Red Sox in the early 1900s
