Orestes "Minnie"
Miñoso (born Saturnino
Orestes Armas Miñoso Arrieta, _/mᵻˈ__noʊ__soʊ__/__; _Spanish pronunciation: _[miˈɲ__oso]_, November 29, 1923 – March 1, 2015),
nicknamed "THE CUBAN COMET" and "MR. WHITE SOX",
was a Cuban Negro league and Major League Baseball (MLB) player. He began his
baseball career in 1946 and became an All-Star third baseman with the New York
Cubans and was signed by the Cleveland Indians after the 1948 season as baseball's
color line slowly fell. Miñoso went on to become an All-Star left fielder with
the Indians and Chicago White Sox. The first Black Cuban in the major leagues
and the first black player in White Sox history, as a 1951 rookie he was the
one of the first Latin Americans to play in an MLB All-Star Game.
Miñoso was an American League
(AL) All-Star for seven seasons[a] and a Gold Glove
winner for three seasons when he was in his 30s.[1]
He batted over .300 for eight seasons. He was the AL leader in triples and stolen
bases three times each and in hits, doubles, and total bases once each. Willie
Mays (179 steals) and Miñoso (167 steals) have been widely credited with
leading the resurgence of speed as an offensive weapon in the 1950s. Miñoso was
particularly adept at reaching base, leading the AL in times hit by pitch a
record ten times, and holding the league mark for career times hit by pitch
from 1959 to 1985. Miñoso, as a defensive standout, led the AL left fielders in
assists six times and in putouts and double plays four times each.
Miñoso was one of the most
popular and dynamic players in White Sox franchise history. He helped the
"Go-Go" White Sox become one of the premier teams of the 1950s and
1960s. A rare power threat on a team known for speed and defense, Miñoso also
held the White Sox record for career home runs from 1956 to 1974.
Miñoso left the major leagues
following the 1964 season, but went on playing and managing in Mexico through
1973. He rejoined the White Sox as a coach, and made brief but highly
publicized player appearances in 1976 and 1980. He became the third player to
get a hit after the age of 50 and the second player to appear in the major
leagues in five decades. Miñoso's White Sox uniform number 9 was retired in
1983, and a statue of him was unveiled at U.S. Cellular Field in 2004. Miñoso
was elected to the Cuban Baseball Hall of Fame in Exile in 1983, and to the Mexican
Professional Baseball Hall of Fame in 1996.
In 2014, Miñoso appeared for
the second time as a candidate on the National Baseball Hall of Fame's Golden
Era Committee election ballot[2] for possible Hall
of Fame consideration in 2015. He and the other candidates including former
White Sox teammate Billy Pierce, and two other former players from Cuba, Tony
Oliva and Luis Tiant, all missed induction in 2015.[3]
