About Millito Navarro

Emilio Navarro, better known as "Millito Navarro", was a Puerto Rican second baseman and shortstop. Navarro was the second Puerto Rican to play baseball in the American Negro leagues, two years after Gacho Torres played for the 1926 Newark Stars. At the time of his death, at age 105, Navarro was the oldest former professional baseball player and the last surviving player from the American Negro League. It so happened that one of the Castillo team members became sick and when the coach saw Navarro jump the fence he asked him to play. Navarro became a centenarian on September 26, 2005, and the following years saw many tributes to him in both Puerto Rico and the United States.
