But he couldn\u2019t shut up about his desire to leave Pittsburgh for California once he became a free agent. Leyland also left the Pirates after the 1996 season when owner Kevin McClatchy announced cuts in the payroll. Sanguill\u00e9n left the Pirates for one year, not of his own volition. In November 1976, he was traded to the Oakland Athletics for manager <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/managers\/tannech01.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chuck Tanner<\/a>. The Pirates reacquired him from Oakland late in spring training in 1978 for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/d\/dilonmi01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-08-23_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Miguel Dilon\u00e9<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/search\/search.fcgi?pid=edward002mik,edwarmi02,edwarmi01&amp;search=Mike+Edwards&amp;utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-08-23_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mike Edwards<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/s\/sosael01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-08-23_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Elias Sosa<\/a>. Now 80 years old, he\u2019s still around PNC Park, behind the counter at Manny\u2019s BBQ under the left-center field stands, smiling, talking to fans, and signing autographs from a wheelchair, sometimes with large ice packs on his knees.<\/p>\n<p>In his 12 years (1967, 1969-76, 1978-80) with the Pirates, Sanguill\u00e9n hit .299\/.329\/.403, 59 HR, 527 RBI, and 105 OPS+, and was a three-time All-Star. He threw out 39 percent of would-be base stealers. His ever-present smile radiated the joy he felt playing the game. A notorious bad-ball hitter, he averaged just 25 walks per 162 games for his career. Always tough to strike out, his \u201cK\u201d rate was just 6.2 percent for his career. For a catcher, he was a fast runner but too often an overly aggressive baserunner. There was a joke around Pittsburgh that he\u2019d keep running until he either scored or was thrown out.<\/p>\n<h3>Beginnings<\/h3>\n<p>Sanguill\u00e9n was born in Colon, Panama (pronounced like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/c\/colonba01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-08-23_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bartolo Colon<\/a>, not like your large intestine). As a teenager, he was an amateur boxer, a vocation his mother wasn\u2019t too crazy about. In 1964, Pirates scout Herb Raybourne discovered a late-teen Sanguill\u00e9n playing right field on his father\u2019s softball team, of all things, and immediately projected him as a major-league catcher. The Houston Astros swooped in and invited Sanguill\u00e9n to a tryout camp. The Pirates won the Sanguill\u00e9n sweepstakes by countering with a $500 offer. He\u2019d never played baseball before.<\/p>\n<h3>A \u201cBreak\u201d for Sanguill\u00e9n<\/h3>\n<p>After hitting just .235 in 1965, his first year at Single-A Batavia, Sanguill\u00e9n quickly caught on (no pun intended). In 1966, he jumped from Single-A to Triple-A. Across both levels, he hit .322\/.362\/.437 and impressed with his catching skills, particularly his ability to throw out runners and catch a knuckle-balling prospect by the name of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/w\/woodwi01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-08-23_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wilbur Wood<\/a>. He earned a promotion to Pittsburgh in 1967 when the Pirates starting catcher, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/m\/mayje01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-08-23_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jerry May<\/a>, was injured. He hit .271 for the big club and spent 1968 in the minors.<\/p>\n<p>In 1969, Sanguill\u00e9n and fellow prospects <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/c\/cashda01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-08-23_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dave Cash<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/e\/ellisdo01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-08-23_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dock Ellis<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/h\/hebneri01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-08-23_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Richie Hebner<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/m\/moosebo01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-08-23_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bob Moose<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/o\/oliveal01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-08-23_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Al Oliver<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/r\/roberbo01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-08-23_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bob Robertson<\/a>, were called the \u201cBaby Bucs\u201d in the press for the future hope they represented. Sanguill\u00e9n went north with the Pirates out of spring training, but it was May who began the season as the number one catcher. Sanguill\u00e9n got his break when May got an unfortunate break of a different kind. On July 14, 1969, May was injured in Montreal\u2019s Jarry Park when he crashed into the dugout while chasing a foul pop. May then injured his shoulder in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. Sanguill\u00e9n replaced him and never lost the starting job. May had become 1969\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/p\/pippwa01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-08-23_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wally Pipp<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>A Champion<\/h3>\n<p>The Baby Bucs fulfilled their promise. The Pirates won the division title in 1970 but were eliminated in the League Championship Series by the Cincinnati Reds. Then they won the World Series in 1971 over the Baltimore Orioles. Overshadowed by the MVP performance of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/c\/clemero01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-08-23_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Roberto Clemente<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/2019\/01\/17\/pirates-legend-steve-blass-broadcasting-2019\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">two complete game victories<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/b\/blassst01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-08-23_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Steve Blass<\/a>, Sanguill\u00e9n was 11-for-29 with two steals in the seven-game Series. On September 1 of that year, he was also part of the first all-minority lineup to take the field.<\/p>\n<h3>A Reluctant Right Fielder<\/h3>\n<p>With 1972 came heartache. The Pirates lost another NLCS to the Reds thanks to Moose\u2019s wild pitch. Then on New Year&#8217;s Eve, <a href=\"https:\/\/throughthefencebaseball.com\/50-years-ago-roberto-clemente-dies-in-plane-crash\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Clemente was killed<\/a> in a plane crash while on a mercy mission to Nicaragua. Sanguill\u00e9n famously spent days scuba diving off the coast of Puerto Rico in search of his friend\u2019s body.<\/p>\n<p>For the 1973 season, the Pirates front office had the bright idea that Sanguill\u00e9n should be moved to right field to take Clemente\u2019s place. In 22-year-old <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/m\/maymi01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-08-23_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Milt May<\/a> (no relation to Jerry), they thought they had the third-best catcher in baseball. To Bob Smizik of <em>The Pittsburgh Press<\/em>, Sanguill\u00e9n recalled an eerie conversation he had with Clemente in November 1972. \u201cBobby, I\u2019m playing right field,\u201d he jokingly told Clemente. \u201cYou better go into left field because I\u2019m going to start the season in right field.\u201d But Sanguill\u00e9n was never comfortable there. The converted catcher told Smizik, \u201cI don\u2019t take Clemente\u2019s place. He is still right field. He belongs to right field. I feel like I don\u2019t belong to right field. I feel like the spirit of him will always be in right field.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The experiment was a disaster. Sanguill\u00e9n committed eight errors in right field, although it\u2019s surprising to look at his statistics today and find that he was also credited with eight Fielding Runs Above Average. The stats geeks were less kind to May. He was charged with -4 Fielding Runs Above Average behind the dish. By June 27, Sanguill\u00e9n was back behind the plate regularly but for a couple of cameos in the outfield. May was hitting .282 at the time \u2013 one point behind Sanguill\u00e9n \u2013 but without the power that was expected of the young left-handed hitter. The 1973 Pirates finished 80-82, ending a string of three consecutive division titles.<\/p>\n<h3>Never the Same<\/h3>\n<p>Sanguill\u00e9n wasn\u2019t the same catcher once he returned to the position. Again, the stats belie what the eye saw. He was still throwing out baserunners at a decent rate \u2013 40 percent in 1974, 39 percent in 1976 \u2013 but from 1974-76, he was credited with just five net Defensive Runs Saved.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Sanguill\u00e9n and the 1974 Pirates were locked in a tight division race with the St. Louis Cardinals. They won the East Division on the final day of the season against the Chicago Cubs at Three Rivers Stadium. The umpires almost forfeited the game to the Cubs. The 22,725 in attendance, perhaps fueled by a bit too much Iron City Beer, were in a nasty mood when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/z\/ziskri01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-08-23_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Richie Zisk<\/a> was thrown out at home on a controversial call. Bottles rained down from the stands. A fan in the left field seats threw a bottle at Cubs left fielder <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/c\/cardejo02.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-08-23_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jos\u00e9 Cardenal<\/a>. \u201cIt was the worst I\u2019ve ever seen a big-league crowd,\u201d umpire Shag Crawford told Smizik. \u201cI am lucky to leave Pittsburgh with my life,\u201d said Cardenal.<\/p>\n<p>Sanguill\u00e9n was the hero in the bottom of the 10th inning. He came to bat with the bases loaded and one out against Cubs reliever <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/z\/zamoros01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-08-23_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Oscar Zamora<\/a>. He hit a roller to third base that scored Al Oliver with the division-winning run. The Pirates would lose the NLCS to the Los Angeles Dodgers.<\/p>\n<h3>His Best Season, but . . .<\/h3>\n<p>Sanguill\u00e9n had his best season with the bat in 1975. He hit .328\/.391\/.451, 9 HR, 58 RBI, and 136 OPS+. His 48 walks were by far a career-high. However, in the NLCS, the Reds successfully stole 11 bases in 11 attempts while sweeping the series in three games. Manager <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/managers\/murtada01.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Danny Murtaugh<\/a> considered starting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/d\/dyerdu01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-08-23_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Duffy Dyer<\/a> in Sanguill\u00e9n\u2019s place in Game 3 but decided against it. Writing the season\u2019s postmortem in the <em>Pittsburgh Post-Gazette<\/em>, long-time beat writer Charley Feeney wrote, \u201cThere seems to be a movement to absolve Sanguill\u00e9n for any of the blame for the 11 stolen bases in the three playoff losses. . . Some people have the tendency not to criticize Sanguill\u00e9n because he is a fine human being. A person can be a fine human being and a bad catcher.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>A Hero, Just for One Day<\/h3>\n<p>During the Pirates\u2019 second-place 1976 season, it became clear the Baby Bucs had largely reached their shelf life. Sanguill\u00e9n\u2019s year with Oakland turned out to be like a year in the Instructional League. Oakland used him at catcher, first base, and right field. When he returned to the Pirates in 1978, Sanguill\u00e9n became a useful utility player. Tanner mostly used him as a reserve first baseman and pinch hitter.<\/p>\n<p>Sanguill\u00e9n\u2019s last hurrah came in Game 2 of the 1979 World Series in Baltimore. In the top of the ninth in a 2-2 tie, he was called on to pinch hit with runners on first and second with two outs. He lined an outside pitch from Orioles reliever <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/s\/stanhdo01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-08-23_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Don Stanhouse<\/a> into right field to score <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/o\/otted01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-08-23_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ed Ott<\/a> from second base. The 3-2 lead held up and the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/2024\/05\/23\/pirates-1979-world-series\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Pirates won the Series<\/a> in seven games.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was probably a ball,\u201d Sanguill\u00e9n told Dan Donovan of <em>The Pittsburgh Press<\/em>. Pirates fans who read that quote collectively thought, no kidding! He dedicated the hit to the memory of the great Clemente. \u201cI dedicated this for him, nobody else.\u201d The front page of the <em>Press<\/em> ran a photo of Sanguill\u00e9n in a cowboy hat, being greeted by fans when the Pirates landed at the airport to resume the Series at home.<\/p>\n<h3>The Last Word<\/h3>\n<p>Sanguill\u00e9n\u2019s role with the Pirates shrank in 1980. They acquired <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/b\/bevacku01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-08-23_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kurt Bevacqua<\/a> in an August trade with the San Diego Padres. When pinch-hitting opportunities arose, Tanner was strangely infatuated with Bevacqua and his .163 average. After the season, the Pirates dealt Sanguill\u00e9n and malcontent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/b\/blylebe01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-08-23_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bert Blyleven<\/a> to the Cleveland Indians for four deservedly forgotten players. Sanguill\u00e9n chose to retire rather than join the Indians. He remains a beloved figure in Pittsburgh, even among younger fans who never saw him play.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Photo Credit: \u00a9 Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manny Sanguill\u00e9n will be inducted into the Pittsburgh Pirates Hall of Fame with Barry Bonds and Jim Leyland on Saturday.
