About Luis Aparicio
Luis Aparicio Montiel (b. 1934, Maracaibo, Venezuela) began his professional career in the Venezuelan winter league in 1953, famously taking over shortstop from his father before the Chicago White Sox signed him. A slick-fielding shortstop nicknamed 'Little Louie' for his slight, 5-foot-9 build, he debuted in 1956 and was named AL Rookie of the Year after leading the league in stolen bases. Aparicio played for the White Sox (1956-62, 1968-70), Baltimore Orioles (1963-67), and Boston Red Sox (1971-73). He won nine Gold Gloves and led the AL in steals in each of his first nine seasons (1956-1964), earning 13 All-Star selections. With second baseman Nellie Fox he formed one of the era's finest double-play combinations. In 1958 he claimed his first Gold Glove and another stolen-base crown, and he later anchored Baltimore's 1966 World Series championship. Aparicio retired with 2,677 hits and 506 steals, and in 1984 became the first Venezuelan elected to the Hall of Fame.
