[edit] Biographical Information

Jorge Cantú hit .333/.406/.630 as the Mexican national team shortstop in the 2003 Baseball World Cup. Eduardo Paret beat him out for the Cup All-Star team.

When Cantú hit his 25th homer of 2008, it made the 2008 Florida Marlins the first MLB team to have four infielders hit 25 or more as Jorge joined Mike Jacobs, Dan Uggla and Hanley Ramírez who had already passed the mark. He ended the season with 29 home runs; one more longball and the entire infield would have topped 30, something that is completely unprecedented.
