He is the first Latin-born manager in the history of the game to have won a World Series. His career stretched from 1985 through 2000, playing for the White Sox (198597), Baltimore Orioles (1998), Atlanta Braves (1998 - 1999) and Tampa Bay Devil Rays (2000).

Chapters: Alex Cabrera, Majandra Delfino, Viviana Gibelli, Marieh Delfino. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 20. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Alex Cabrera (born December 24, 1971 in Caripito, Monagas State, Venezuela) is a Venezuelan first baseman and right-handed batter who played in Major League Baseball for the Arizona Diamondbacks and Nippon Professional Baseball for the Seibu Lions in Japan. He is currently playing for the Orix Buffaloes after signing with them prior to the 2008 season. He was signed by the Chicago Cubs as an amateur free agent in 1991, and moved to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays organization before the 1998 season. Later, he signed with Arizona and before that, he also played for CPBL's Koos Group Whales in 1999. After staying in the minors for nine seasons, he finally got a shot in the majors in 2000. A muscular slugger (6' 2", 220 lb.), Cabrera hit a home run during his first at-bat. He ended the season with a .262 average, five home runs, 14 RBI, 10 runs, two doubles, one triple and a .500 slugging percentage in 31 games. After that, the Seibu Lions of the Japan Pacific League purchased his contract from Arizona. In 2001, Cabrera batted .282, with 49 home runs and 124 RBI, and exploded with a .336, 55, 115 batting line in 2002, winning the Pacific League's MVP award. His 55 home runs tied Japan's single-season record, equaling the mark set by the legendary Sadaharu Oh in 1964 and matched by former big leaguer Tuffy Rhodes in 2001. Like Rhodes, Cabrera would see few good pitches for the remaining games after tying the record. He maintained his form in 2003, batting .324, 50, 112. On October 26, 2004, pitcher Kazuhisa Ishii went six strong innings and Cabrera hit a two-run towering homer as the Seibu Lions defeated the Chunichi Dragons 7-2 in Game 7 of the Japa...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=465043 ...
