Chico Carrasquel

Yes sir, Buddy Kerr has the all-time Major League record for shortstops in handling chances, 383.

In the American League, the record's held by a fellow Venezuelan of Elio Chacon's, Chico Carrasquel.

Here's Andre Rogers, and the first pitch to him is a curveball that's over for a strike.

This ballgame will be getting underway shortly.

Cleveland's fine competitor Al Rosen at first base.

His running mate Bobby Avila at second.

At shortstop, Chico Carrasquel, one of the fancy-fielding shortstops of the business.

At third base, Ray Boone, who comes back to Cleveland here in sort of a triumphant role.

Concepcion is from Venezuela.

In the '55 ball game, another Venezuelan played, Chico Carrasquel, had two for three in that ball game.

You know, on this Dodger ...

The Dodgers, there's Walter Alston, the Dodger manager.

Coming up next on Red Stanley-

Seems like Venezuela has a market on great shortstops, back from Chico Carrasquel with the White Sox, then Luis Aparicio, and now this guy, David Concepcion.

They do something right down there teaching those infielders.

Then they send them to Warsaw, huh?

Chico Carrasquel.

Let off here in the inning with a single.

That swings on the next pitch and beats it far right into the crowd for strike two.

Picks it up.

That's what a first is in time.

A beautiful recovery on the part of Chico Carrasquell.

He was just on the verge of being charged with the first error of the ball game, but he recovered his own fumble and got Jackson at first on a wicked throw.
