My Boricua Parade Experience with Two Hall of Fame Legends

Danny Torres found himself in the presence of two Puerto Rican Hall of Famers who were honored at this year’s National Puerto Rican Day parade.

The two honorees were Edgar Martínez, who was voted into the 2019 class of the National Baseball Hall of Fame, and golfer Chi-Chi Rodríguez.
