Héctor Rodríguez

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Héctor Antonio Ordeñana Rodríguez (June 13, 1920 - September 1, 2003) was a Major League Baseball third baseman. A native of Alquizar, Cuba, his nickname was "Oh Henry!".

Before the 1951 season he was acquired by the Brooklyn Dodgers from San Luis Potosi of the Mexican League, then on December 6 of that same year he was traded by the Dodgers to the Chicago White Sox for first baseman Rocky Nelson.

Rodríguez was Chicago's regular third baseman during the 1952 season. He appeared in 124 games for the 81-73 White Sox and hit .265 with 1 home run and 40 runs batted in. He drew 47 walks and was hit by pitches 3 times, raising his on base percentage to .346. He stole 7 bases, scored 55 runs, and struck out just 22 times in 407 at bats, making him the seventh-toughest to strike out in the American League. (once per every 18.5 at bats)

Defensively, his .959 fielding percentage was just above the league average for third basemen. Rodríguez went back to the minor leagues in 1953, and on October 8 of that year was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs of the International League for pitcher Don Johnson. He never again made it back to the big league level.

Rodríguez died at the age of 83 in Cancún, Quintana Roo, Mexico.
