He was easily the best shortstop in baseball during the entire decade of the '70s and was a perennial All-Star. He did his job quietly day-in and day-out, and didn't seek publicity... largely because he did not speak English well. He was not a media darling and played in a small market his entire career. I hope he geats in.
Another vote for Concepcion
