Happy # 80 to Tito Fuentes

Tito Fuentes was born in Cuba on this day in 1944.  He signed with the Giants as a free agent in 1962.  

Fuentes broke with the Giants in 1965 at 21 and enjoyed some good seasons with San Francisco, San Diego and Detroit.    His numbers were very decent:   .268 batting average, 1,491 hits and a .307 on base pct.

After baseball, Fuentes became a baseball announcer.   He works in the Giants' Spanish network.
