1969 Topps #94 Hank Aguirre
About Hank Aguirre
His 1969 card sits on the best relief work he ever did: 25 outings for the Dodgers in 1968, three earned runs across 39.1 innings for a 0.69 ERA, with three saves. Los Angeles released him that December anyway. Card #94 is a first-series base card that still shows him as a Dodger; by the time the season opened he was a Chicago Cub, signed on March 21, 1969, and he gave Leo Durocher 41 relief appearances and a 2.60 ERA.
Hank Aguirre was a 6-foot-4 left-hander who pitched 16 major-league seasons from 1955 to 1970 for the Cleveland Indians, Detroit Tigers, Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs - ten of those years in Detroit, acquired with catcher Jim Hegan in a February 1958 trade. Born in Azusa, California, to a father who had emigrated from Jalisco, Mexico, he was called 'Mex' for that Mexican descent. Detroit moved him from the bullpen to the rotation in 1962, and he led the major leagues with a 2.21 ERA, a third of a run better than Sandy Koufax, went 16-8 and was named to both All-Star teams that summer, the only All-Star honors of his career. He finished 75-72 with a 3.25 ERA and was helpless at the plate: a lifetime .085 average and no home runs. Aguirre later coached for the Cubs and worked in the Oakland Athletics organization, then founded Mexican Industries, a Detroit auto-parts supplier that grew from eight employees to more than a thousand. He died of prostate cancer in 1994.
