Numero uno.

Pretty sure I should call in Gustavo for a round of Ask a Mexican on this, but with it being Cinco de Mayo and all I thought I should at least give it a go.

How about a very unofficial list of the five greatest Mexican athletes in the history of Dallas:

5. Esteban Loaiza – Won 17 games with Rangers from '98-'00

4. Rafael Septien – nine-year career as Cowboys kicker, including Pro Bowl season in ‘81

3. Eduardo Najera – Mavs have never replaced his energy and tenacity

2. Tony Romo – Antonio Ramiro Romo, a third-generation Mexican-American on his father’s side

1. Lee Trevino – Honing his game at Tenison Park, “Merry Mex” won six golf Grand Slam tournaments -- Richie Whitt
