Player Profile: Jorge Alvarez

I have one card of Jorge Alvarez, from 1991 Line Drive.

Playing career: Jorge Alvarez had an extraordinary playing career in professional baseball. Between 1988 and 2010 he was a regular for either an affiliated or an independent-league team. In 2010, as a 41-year-old, he hit .319 with 4 HR and 44 RBI in 61 games for Shreveport-Bossier of the American Association.

Where he is now: A hitting instructor at Elite BaseballAcademy in San Antonio.

My memories: Only know him from his card.

Google Autocomplete results: He is fifth when you type Jorge Al, between Jorge Almiron, an Argentine soccer player, and Jorge Alessandri, the 27th President of Chile. The first entry when you google Jorge Alvarez is not the ballplayer but the co-founder of Advizr.

Coming up next: The next profile will be Fernando Arguelles.
