Celerino Sánchez Pérez (3 February 1944 – 1 May 1992) was a Mexican professional baseball third baseman. He played in MLB for the New York Yankees.
Career
Sánchez starred as a baseball player in the Mexican League from 1964 to 1971, primarily with the Tigres del México, before joining the New York Yankees organization in 1972. After spending a few months with the Yankees' minor league affiliate, the Syracuse Chiefs, Sánchez joined the Yankees in June 1972, and was the Yankees regular third baseman for the rest of the year. In 1973, the Yankees' acquisition of star third baseman Graig Nettles relegated him to a backup role. 1973 was Sánchez' final year in the Major Leagues.[citation needed]
Sanchez hit his only career home run at Yankee Stadium on May 12, 1973 against Mickey Scott of the Baltimore Orioles.[1] He returned to the Mexican Leagues in 1976, where he played for several more years before retiring in 1979.[2]
Sánchez was elected to the Mexican Professional Baseball Hall of Fame in 1994.[3]
