Leo Cardenas - guyofthetiger - 04-25-2018
He was a Reds shortstop in the 60's and came out to sign autographs. I had him sign 2 baseballs. He was from Cuba and knows Tony Perez. He was one of the early Cuban players. He was a nice guy and still lives in Cincinnati area. He was inducted to the Reds HOF in 1981 and has a nickname of Mr. Automatic. The other players called him Chico like all Cuban players at the time.
