jan 1, 1966 - 1966 - LATIN DISCIPLES EST.

Description:

In the year 1966 young 12 year old Albert Hernandez started his own club/baseball team called the “Disciples.” The Disciples had nothing to do with the Latin Scorpions gang like most internet sources say.

The Disciples were a party crew of kids that got together and had a good time then played some baseball, they also liked to help out the community at Rockwell and Potomac in the East Humboldt Park neighborhood. The Disciples treated many people in the community with respect and would even stick up for people that were being bullied by neighborhood gangs, this lead to conflicts with Latin Kings, Warlords and Spanish Lords, not white gangs like Gang Land says, especially not Gaylords and Harrison Gents that were never in East Humboldt Park. The Disciples hung out with the Milwaukee Kings as their closest allies and the two clubs partied together.
