Kellogg's Venezuelan Cards - MLB Players - #2
I can't believe that the entire week went by without getting a post done. Hosting a lousy cross country meet ended up taking five days out of my life. Setup, rain-outs and incorrect results kept me quite busy. My regular job also kept me going each day.
I don't know most of these guys well since many played from 1994 - 2005 when I boycotted baseball. I haven't followed baseball as closely since 2005 as I did from the late 1960s until 1994.
Back to the countdown.
10 - Alex Gonzalez / Alex Cabrera
Gonzalez - played from 1998 - 2014; he was the Marlins infielder in the 2003 NLCS, not the Cub
Cabrera - one season with Arizona; five homers
11 - Roberto Petagine / Gabriel Luckert
Petagine - seven MLB seasons and 10 homers
Luckert - played in three different minor league seasons.
12 - Antonio Armas Jr./ Jose Centeno
Armas - Tony Jr. was 53-65 in 10 years of MLB play. Dad led the league in HR twice and RBIs once.
Centeno - minors for four years
13 - William Oropeza / Johan Lopez
Oropeza - 10 years in the minors
Lopez - played from 1992 to 2009 without making the majors
14 - Bob Abreu / Miguel Nieves
Abreu - that's Bobby; 288 homers in 18 years
Nieves - not found on baseball-reference.com
15 - Eduardo Perez / Wlfredo Romero
Perez - MLB player known as Eddie (Eduardo is a different guy); played 11 years
Romero - he doesn't match the two players listed on baseball-reference.com - based on birthday
16 - Edgar Naveda / Dan Urbina
Naveda - 11 years without making the majors
Urbina - 3 years in the minors
17 - Giovanni Carrara / Jesus Hernandez
Carrara - pitched 10 year; over 300 games; 29 wins
Hernandez - lots of minor league players by this name; I didn't match him; card says he played for Caracas.
18 - Miguel Cairo / Carlos Valderrama
Cairo - 17 years; lots of teams; over 1,000 hits.
Valderrama - he was 1-7 for the Giants in 2003. He played nine years in the minors.
I remember Petagine had a brief stint with the Bosox
