Panamanian
Rodney Cline "Rod" Carew (born October 1, 1945), is a former Major League Baseball player for the Minnesota Twins and California Angels from 1967 to 1985.
He was born to a Panamanian mother on a train in the town of Gatun, which at that time was in the Panama Canal Zone . As the train was segregated, Carew's dark-skinned mother was forced to ride in a rear car. When his mother went into labor, a white doctor named Rodney Cline, who was Jewish, delivered her baby. In appreciation, the baby was named after the doctor. At age 17, the Carews emigrated to New York City. One day after graduating high school, Carew signed a contract with the Minnesota Twins.
