An outstanding production from all at YES Network, one you could call a ‘grand slam.’
The segment included three separate on-the-field interviews: one with Latino Sports founder and president Julio Pabón to explain the history behind the 33rd Annual LatinoMVP Awards, one with James Fiorentino, and then another with Maz Adams, to discuss the creativity and ideas in their respective award pieces. Fiorentino, and Adams, are both well-known in the industry for their one-of-a-kind artwork and craftsmanship.

Latino Sports, the Latino Sports Writers and Broadcasters Association, and Major League Baseball, greatly appreciate James’ and Maz’ efforts and hard work in creating the awards. As it goes for the 2022 LatinoMVP winners, each player, who received their “Latin Grammy of Baseball,” was beyond grateful for the honor — and reacted in complete shock once presented with their award.
Additionally, for the LatinoMVP Awards to reach the heights of one of the most highly-rated sports television networks across the nation, YES Network — the exclusive regional television network of the New York Yankees, Brooklyn Nets, and New York Liberty, shows that our saying and progress in promoting Latinos to the highest degree lives on to this day — “It’s About Us, It’s About Time.”
Special thank you to YES Network and the New York Yankees for including Latino Sports in their latest episode of Yankees Magazine!
