El Buitre de Tecamachaico
Said to have had the highest velocity in the Mexican League of all time. Tigers and Astros fan favorite known as "Senor Smoke", played major relief role in the Tigers 84 run, and the Astros 86 run. 1977 Mexican League MVP. Member of Mexican Baseball Hall of Fame. 62-36 MLB record with 93 saves and a 3.56 era. I believe his 1979 Topps card #444 is his rookie card, at least as far as I know. His Amercian Hofer counterpart, Ozzie Smith's 1979 Topps rookie PSA 10 just sold for 1/4 million USD with all the juice and vig.
