1972 Topps - Manny Sanguillen #60 (Catcher) - Autographed Baseball Card (Pittsburgh Pirates)

Manuel De Jesus Sanguillén Magan, better known as Manny Sanguillén or "Sangy" (b. March 21, 1944 in Colón, Panama), is a former catcher in the Major Leagues. He was named to the All-Star team three times, in 1971, 1972, and 1975. He played primarily for the Pittsburgh Pirates, but also for the Oakland Athletics in 1977. Sanguillen's lifetime batting average of .296 is the fourth highest by a catcher since World War II, and tenth highest for catchers in Major League Baseball history.

Although he was often overshadowed by his contemporary, Johnny Bench, Sanguillén was considered one of the best catchers in Major League baseball in the early 1970s. While he didn't possess Bench's power hitting ability, Sanguillen hit for a higher batting average. He was an integral member of the Pirates teams that won three consecutive National League Eastern Division pennants between 1970 and 1972, and a World Series victory in 1971 (and in 1979). Sanguillen was also a fast baserunner for a catcher and was a good defensive player with a strong throwing arm. He was notorious for being a "bad-ball" hitter.

His playing time diminished in 1979, playing in only 56 games, although he contributed a two-out, game-winning single and RBI for the Pirates in Game 2 of the 1979 World Series against the Orioles. Sanguillen would retire after the 1980 season.

MLB statistics:
Batting average - .296
