Not Guillermo Hernandez??

He started off as Willie Hernandez.

Then, some time during his career, he had a conversation with his son, telling the kid to be proud of his latino heritage.

Out of the mouths of babes…, the kid replies, “so then now come you go by ‘Willie’?”

This was re-born, Guillermo Hernandez.
