RIP - Sandy Valdespino

 
Sandy Valdespino, a left fielder for the Twins and others, passed away on February 26, 2023 at age 84.
Valdespino played in the minor leagues from 1957 to 1974, and made his MLB debut with the Twins in 1965. By far, his most playing time came during his rookie year, when he appeared in 108 games (47 starts) and collected a career-high 22 RBI. 
 
After 2 more seasons with the Twins, he bounced around to the Braves, Astros, Pilots, Brewers, and Royals for the final 4 seasons of his MLB career. 1965 and 1967 were the only 2 seasons he didn't spend time in the minors. 
 
He also played in Mexico from 1973-74.
