1967 Topps #60 Luis Aparicio
About Luis Aparicio
Card #60, a first-series slot, carries Aparicio's best season at the plate in Baltimore: 1966, when he hit .276 with 182 hits, 97 runs and 41 RBI, and led the American League in at bats and singles. The Orioles won 97 games, took the pennant by nine, and swept the Los Angeles Dodgers in four straight for the only World Series ring of his career. He went 4-for-16 in that sweep and did not make an error.
Luis Ernesto Aparicio Montiel was born in Maracaibo, Venezuela, the son of a celebrated Venezuelan shortstop, and was signed by White Sox general manager Frank Lane on the recommendation of countryman Chico Carrasquel. Two seasons in the minor leagues followed, and in 1956 he took over Carrasquel's shortstop job in Chicago and won the American League Rookie of the Year, the first Latin American player so honored, after leading the league with 21 stolen bases. With second baseman Nellie Fox he formed one of the game's great double-play combinations, sparking the 1959 Go-Go White Sox to their first pennant in 40 years while finishing second to Fox in the MVP vote. He led the American League in stolen bases in each of his first nine seasons, two more in a row than any other player in either league has managed, and won nine Gold Gloves at shortstop. Traded to Baltimore before the 1963 season, he helped the Orioles win the 1966 World Series before returning to Chicago and finishing with the Boston Red Sox. Picked for ten All-Star teams, he retired in 1973 with 2,677 hits, 506 stolen bases and major-league fielding records for a shortstop. In 1984, on his sixth turn on the ballot, he became the first Venezuelan elected to the Hall of Fame.
