Stepping up to the plate

Article Abstract:

Phoenix businessman Arturo Moreno's purchase of the World Series champion Anaheim Angels from the Walt Disney Co. has made him the first Hispanic to own a Major League Baseball (MLB) team in its entirety.

Article Abstract:

Hispanics have not yet achieved meaningful influence in the entertainment industry as evidenced by the stereotypical portrayals. Hispanics are not underrepresented in decision-making in the industry. Hispanics should be portrayed as doctors as well as maids on television. There is question as to whether the industry has committed to adding such portrayals.
