Did Nino charge a fee? He along with Chuck Harmon were the first blacks to play for the Reds. I think Escalera got to bat right before Harmon did.

I wrote to him in spanish but I did not included a fee or a donation.
I do not know if he charges and in the note he wrote that he was the first Black to play for the Reds.

I was with Luis Arroyo a few weeks ago and he had very positive things to say about Nino. What did you send him to sign?

I sent him a Reds sticker card and a couple of index cards.
