1975 Topps #425 Tito Fuentes
About Tito Fuentes
Rigoberto "Tito" Fuentes Peat was born January 4, 1944, in Havana, Cuba, and played on Cuba's gold-medal 1961 Amateur World Series team alongside Bert Campaneris before the Giants signed him as an 18-year-old in 1962, one of the last players to come directly out of Cuba after the revolution. He debuted for San Francisco in 1965 and, four days later, stood on deck bat in hand for the infamous Marichal-Roseboro brawl. A switch-hitting second baseman who flipped his bat off the plate before every at-bat, Fuentes anchored the Giants infield through the early 1970s, homering off Pittsburgh in the 1971 NLCS and setting a since-broken NL fielding record (.993) at second base in 1973. Traded to San Diego after the 1974 season pictured on this 1975 Topps card, he later hit a career-high .309 for Detroit before closing out 1978 in Oakland, retiring with 1,491 hits over 13 seasons. He returned to the Giants as their Spanish-language broadcaster and was inducted into the Hispanic Heritage Baseball Museum Hall of Fame in 2002.
