[edit] Biographical Information
Gilberto Rondon was a member of the Houston Astros starting rotation during most of May and June of 1976. He did not pitch particularly well going 2-2 with a 5.05 ERA in 7 starts. Throughout his career, he was even worse out of the bullpen with a 7.00 ERA in 12 games. He resurfaced again as a September call up for the 1979 Chicago White Sox. His ERA of 3.72 was respectable, but he gave up 11 hits and 6 walks in 9 and 2/3 innings while only striking out 3. He gave up at least one run in all but one of his four appearances in 1979. The exception was on September 23 against Seattle, when he pitched 1 and 2/3 innings, giving up 1 hit and 1 walk.
In 1989, Gil played for the Orlando Juice of the Senior Professional Baseball Association. In 1990, Rondon played for the Fort Myers Sun Sox, also of the Senior Professional Baseball Association. He pitched in 9 games and was 2-1 with 5.73 ERA when the league folded.
Gilberto played for the Santurce Crabbers and Caguas Creoles of the Puerto Rico Winter Baseball League.
