[edit] Biographical Information
Angelo Dagres, one of only two major leaguers from the University of Rhode Island (as of September 2007), came up for eight games in September with the 1955 Baltimore Orioles. He had just turned 21. A right fielder, he was competing for a spot that had seen 10 other players appear there for at least one game in 1955, with five of them getting at least 25 games in right field in 1955.
Dagres hit .267 on a team that hit .240, but he also made two errors in the field.
The following year, six Orioles players had at least 16 games in right field.
In 1962 he was with Rochester.
His son, Todd Dagres, played baseball in college and then became a very successful venture capitalist and movie financier.
