1973 Topps #363 Jackie Hernandez
About Jackie Hernandez
Hernandez played 72 games for the 1972 Pirates, the season after his World Series ring, and hit .188 with 14 RBI. He played shortstop in 68 of them and hit one home run. His 1973 Topps card, #363 in the third series, lists him with the Pirates.
Jacinto Hernandez, known as Jackie, was a Cuban-born shortstop who played nine major league seasons from 1965 to 1973. He signed with Cleveland as a catcher out of Central Tinguaro, Cuba, moved to shortstop on a scout's suggestion, and reached the majors with the California Angels before being traded to the Minnesota Twins. Left unprotected in the 1968 expansion draft, he became the Kansas City Royals' first everyday shortstop in their inaugural 1969 season. Hernandez joined the Pittsburgh Pirates for the 1971 season and became their regular shortstop after an injury to Gene Alley, helping the club win the 1971 World Series while starting all seven games without an error. A skilled bunter, he finished his career with a .208 average over 618 games. He later coached, including a stint with the New Jersey Jackals, and died in 2019.
