Pretty sure I should call in Gustavo for a round of Ask a Mexican on this, but with it being Cinco de Mayo and all I thought I should crack open a Corona and at least give it a go.
I was going to – per my usual list – rank the Top 10 but that’s extremely difficult considering the lack of decent Mexican athletes since it’s May 5th I fittingly went with just the five.
My five greatest Mexican athletes in the history of Dallas:
5. Eduardo Najera – Mavs have never replaced his energy and tenacity.

3. Esteban Loaiza – Won 17 games with Rangers from ’98-’00 and started a ’99 playoff game vs. Yankees.
2. Rafael Septien – 9-year career as Cowboys’ kicker included two Super Bowls and Pro Bowl season in ’81
1. Lee Trevino – Honing his game at Tenison Park, “Merry Mex” won six golf Grand Slam tournaments
