Cesar broke with Houston in 1969 but was traded to Cincinnati before the 1972 season. He turned into one of the very best defensive center fields of the 1970's winning 4 Gold Gloves.
Geronimo played on the best NL team of the 1970's. Therefore, he did not get a lot of publicity because of Johnny Bench, Pete Rose, Tony Perez, Joe Morgan and all of others on that Red Machine.
Cesar hit .258 over 15 seasons and caught the last out of the 1975 World Series.
Great player!
