As Vizquel nears Aparicio’s all-time record for games
played at shortstop, here’s a comparison of the two
slick fielders from Venezuela.

San Francisco Giants as a credentialed member of the press. It was most special to me as it was the return to Cleveland of one of my all-time favorite players, Omar Vizquel.
