There was an Angels commerical a couple of years ago that had the teams pitchers in a classroom...complete with chalkboard and The Latin pitchers (Francisco Rodriguez, Kelvim Escobar and Ramon Ortiz) were teaching the white pitchers (Lackey, Washburn, Donnelly, Percival and Ben Weber) some helpful Spanish.
