"Luis Aparicio is the only guy that I ever saw go behind second base, make the turn and throw Mickey Mantle out. He was as sure-handed as anyone." Phil Rizzuto. "Luis's the best I've ever seen. He makes plays which I know can't possibly be made, yet he makes them almost every day." Bill Veeck. "That little guy is just about the greatest shortstop I've ever seen. I can't imagine how anybody could possibly be any better, no matter how far back you go." Yankees Mgr. Ralph Houk. "Various teammates over the years said they were awestruck by the ground balls that Luis Aparicio reached with sprawling dives, great flexibility, and tremendous instinct. The ball shot off the bat, a fielder shrugged at the realization that the opponents had a hit, and then all of a sudden Aparicio would glove the ball and throw the man out at first." "Latino Baseball Legends: An Encyclopedia" Lew Freedman. Luis Aparicio made an immediate impact winning ROY Award in 1956, leading league in stolen bases and leading American League shortstops in putouts and assists. Was the first Latin American player to win the award. Second to Ty Cobb in American League history career at bats 10,230. Gold Glove Award at Short Stop nine times. Ten-time All-Star Short Stop. Luis Aparicio is the oldest living Baseball Hall of Famer.
