Franklin Crisostomo Taveras Fabian (born December 24, 1949) is a Dominican former Major League shortstop from Шаблон:Baseball year to Шаблон:Baseball year for the Pittsburgh Pirates, New York Mets and Montreal Expos.
Career
Pittsburgh Pirates
Taveras signed with the Pittsburgh Pirates as an amateur free agent January 8, Шаблон:Baseball year, and made his major league debut on September 25, Шаблон:Baseball year as a pinch runner for Willie Stargell in the fifteenth inning of an extra inning marathon with the New York Mets (won 2-1 by the Mets in the bottom of the 15th). After only four appearances, mostly as a late inning defensive replacement in Шаблон:Baseball year, and spending the entire Шаблон:Baseball year season in the minors, Taveras made the Pirates for good in Шаблон:Baseball year. On August 5, Шаблон:Baseball year, he hit an inside-the-park grand slam in the second inning of the second game of a doubleheader at Cincinnati. Taveras led the National League in stolen bases in 1977 with 70, and followed that up with leading the NL in times caught stealing with 25 in 1978. In an unfortunate set of circumstances, he was not given a World Series ring in 1971 after the Pirates won because he was not listed on any post-season roster. He also didn't receive a World Series ring when the Pirates won in 1979 because he was traded just weeks into the season to the New York Mets.[1]
New York Mets
Eleven games into the Шаблон:Baseball year season, Taveras was traded to the New York Mets for Tim Foli and minor leaguer Greg Field on April 19. During his first season with the Mets, he hit his only career home run that actually went over the wall against Mike LaCoss. Coincidentally, it too was in Cincinnati. Taveras managed to play in 164 regular season games that year.[2]
Montreal Expos
The Mets traded Taveras to the Montreal Expos for pitcher Steve Ratzer prior to the start of the Шаблон:Baseball year season. With Montreal, Taveras made his Major League debut as a second baseman. He was released on August 13 after compiling only a .161 batting average in 48 games.
