1967 Topps #586 Manny Jimenez
About Manny Jimenez
Pittsburgh took Jimenez in the minor league draft on November 29, 1966, and manager Harry Walker got more out of him than his old bosses had, correcting him privately and telling him it was fine to hit to the opposite field. He made the Opening Day roster and went 2-for-6 with a home run in early pinch-hitting duty, then went to Columbus, where he hit .331 and shared an outfield with his brother Elvio, the only time the two were professional teammates. Recalled on June 25, he homered at Cincinnati in his first game back and batted .250 in 56 at-bats over 50 games. His 1967 Topps card, number 586, is a high number from the seventh series and the first of his cards to show him with the Pirates.
Manny Jimenez, born Manuel Emilio Jimenez Rivera on November 19, 1936, in San Pedro de Macoris, Dominican Republic, was an outfielder who threw right-handed but hit left-handed after the Milwaukee Braves converted him, and who built a reputation as one of his era's best pure hitters: he won the Northern League batting title at .340 for Eau Claire in 1958 and hit .325 for Vancouver in the Pacific Coast League in 1961. Traded to the Kansas City Athletics that December, he reached the majors in 1962 and played for the Athletics, Pittsburgh Pirates, and Chicago Cubs across parts of seven seasons through 1969, finishing at .272 with 26 home runs and 144 RBIs in 429 games. Nicknamed "El Mulo" (The Mule) for his strength and the way he kicked up his front leg at the plate, a name that also nodded at his stubborn streak, he became the first Dominican to homer three times in a big-league game. Clashes with managers and front offices over money, playing time, and discipline shadowed a career that never matched his raw hitting talent. His brother Elvio also reached the majors, appearing in one game for the 1964 Yankees. Jimenez entered the Dominican Republic's Sports Hall of Fame in 1994 and died in New York on December 11, 2017, at 81.
