[edit] Biographical Information

Pedro Gonzalez was one of the earliest major leaguers from San Pedro de Macoris, D.R. While he appeared in the 1964 World Series (and was at first base with the 1964 Yankees more than other positions), he had most of his major league at-bats as a second baseman with the 1965-66 Cleveland Indians. His fielding was good but his hitting wasn't very strong.

In 1967, his last season in the majors, both he and Vern Fuller appeared in 64 games at second base. Fuller is listed as the regular, presumably because he had more chances.

He managed the following teams: 1968 Torreon Cotton Dealers, 1969 Saltillo Saraperos, 1972-1973 Tampico Lightermen, 1974-1975 Centauros de Chihuahua and 1976-1986 GCL Braves.
