1976 Topps #267 Aurelio Rodriguez
About Aurelio Rodriguez
Aurelio Rodriguez played 151 games, all at third base, for the 1975 Tigers and hit .245 with 13 home runs. On June 19 he connected for his first big-league grand slam, against Kansas City. His 1976 Topps card is #267. An ankle injury on August 29, 1976 ended that season after 128 games.
Aurelio Rodriguez, sometimes called "Chi Chi", was a Mexican-born third baseman who spent 17 major league seasons (1967-1983) with the Angels, Senators, Tigers, Padres, Yankees, White Sox and Orioles, hitting .237 with 124 home runs in 2,017 games. He built his reputation on defense: a powerful throwing arm, a career range factor at third base that ranks second in major league history, and 4,150 career assists at the position, fifth all-time at his retirement. He won his only Gold Glove in 1976, ending Brooks Robinson's long run of American League third base honors. In 1970 with Washington under manager Ted Williams, he set career highs in home runs and RBI. After retiring he managed from 1987 to 1997, mostly in the Mexican League, leading the Sultanes de Monterrey to the 1991 championship, and was inducted into the Mexican Professional Baseball Hall of Fame in 1995. He died in Detroit in 2000 after being struck by a motorist.
