Yo-Yo Davalillo is the brother of Víctor Davalillo. He spent one month in the major leagues as a 22-year-old shortstop, hitting over .290 but adding virtually no power or walks. The regular shortstop that year for the 1953 Washington Senators was 25-year-old Pete Runnels.
The name "Yo-Yo" was stuck on him in the U.S. In Venezuela, he is known as Pompeyo Davalillo. He played baseball there through age 33 and was then a manager.
