1934-1972. A national hero of Puerto Rico (and to Nuyoricans - he has a park named for him, as well as some schools). #21, a five-tool player (despite a knack for detailing every single ache, pain, and insomniac spell in response to "How ya doin' Bob?") for the Pittsburgh Pirates, from 1955-1972, after the Brooklyn Dodgers failed to keep him. Died in a New Year's Eve 1973 plane crash, during a humanitarian effort after the Nicaraguan earthquake. MVP of the 1971 World Series.
