Athletes - Manny Trillo


Jesús Manuel Marcano "Manny" Trillo (born December 25, 1950), also nicknamed "Indio", is a former Major League Baseball second baseman who played for the Oakland Athletics (1973-74), Chicago Cubs (1975-78, 1986-88), Philadelphia Phillies (1979-82), Cleveland Indians (1983), Montreal Expos (1983), San Francisco Giants (1984-85) and Cincinnati Reds (1989).

Trillo was born in Caripito, Venezuela. Originally signed as a catcher by the Phillies in 1968, he started his major league career with Oakland on June 28, 1973. After being traded with two other players in exchange for Billy Williams

Trillo batted a career-high .292 for the 1980 World Series-winning Phillies, and was named MVP of the National League Championship Series when he hit .381 with four runs batted in against the Houston Astros. Trillo won his third Gold Glove Award in 1982, when he set a since-broken major league record for consecutive errorless chances at second base (479), falling two games short of Joe Morgan
