During his career as a player, he was known for his defensive skills and for his habit of sitting on the ground when there were no runners on base with one leg out to the side. In an arrangement some call the hurdler’s position. He did this to help his pitchers keep their pitches low in the strike zone. In his career as to say, he was a .260 batter with 107 home runs and 708 RBIs in 1,988 games for the record.

 

After he became a successful player, he led a professional baseball team (Aguilas Cibaenas) to 2 domestic championships in 1998, 2000 and a Caribbean World Series title in 2001.
