Seventeen seasons gave him 1,562 hits, 239 doubles, 571 runs batted in and a .263 average, with four All-Star selections. He once handled 479 chances at second base without an error, which was the record when he set it.

He was Venezuelan, from Caripito, and came to Philadelphia from the Cubs in an eight-player trade. Seven clubs used him. The 1995 ballot gave him no votes at all.
