I have one card of Jose Baez, from 1978 Topps.
Playing career: In second baseman Jose Baez’s major league
debut in 1977, he got the first hit in Mariners history. He got 86 more hits
over the next two seasons.
Where he is now: He headed the Nationals’ Dominican academy
but was fired along with Jose Rijo after an identification falsification scandal. He now works as an independent baseball trainer in the Dominican
Republic.
My memories: He’s before my time. Only know him from his
card.
Google Autocomplete results: He is third when you type Jose
B, between Jose Bautista Stats, referring to the Blue Jays outfielder, and Jose
Bosingwa, a Portuguese soccer player. None of the entries on the first page
when you google Jose Baez refer to the ballplayer; they all are about Casey
Anthony’s lawyer.
Coming up next: The next profile will be Kevin Baez.
