1976 Topps #92 Eduardo Rodriguez
About Eduardo Rodriguez
Rodriguez went 5-13 in 1976 despite a 3.64 ERA that was roughly league average. He started 12 of his 45 games and saved 8, both personal bests. Topps issued him as a Brewer on #92. That winter in Puerto Rico he led the league with nine victories.
Eduardo Rodriguez was a right-handed Puerto Rican pitcher from Barceloneta who spent seven seasons in the majors, mostly out of the bullpen: 1973 to 1978 with the Milwaukee Brewers and 1979 with the Kansas City Royals. He went 42-36 with a 3.89 ERA and 32 saves. At home he was known as Volanta, a family nickname first given to his grandfather, who in 1902 publicly announced he would vote for the Volanta political party. Converted from shortstop to pitcher as a teenager, he signed with Milwaukee in November 1971 for an estimated $12,000. He reached the majors in June 1973 after one full minor league year at Danville. On September 3, 1973 he tripled in his only major league at-bat, the first hit by an American League pitcher in the designated hitter era. He also pitched in the Puerto Rican Winter League for Caguas and Mayaguez. The Royals placed him on waivers before the 1980 season and he did not return to the majors. He died in Barceloneta on March 6, 2009, his 57th birthday.
