1970 42 Tito Fuentes

Tito Fuentes

   

Fuentes was noted for his defense and his speed.  His 1970 season was good, as he exceeded his lifetime batting average.

He played for the Phoenix Giants in 1968 and 1969. Phoenix hosted the team until until after the 1997 season, when they were replaced by the major league Diamondbacks. Prior to 1966, the Tacoma Giants were the Giants' triple A team, where Fuentes played in 1964 and part of 1965. The Tacoma Giants moved back to Phoenix in 1966, where they had played before 1960.  They eventually changed their name to the Phoenix Firebirds.
