Félix Millán

Félix Bernardo Millán Martínez (born August 21, 1943) is a Puerto Rican former professional baseball second baseman who played in Major League Baseball for the Atlanta Braves and New York Mets. Born in Yabucoa, Puerto Rico, he played in grade school in a league sponsored by the Yabucoa police department, and later served in the United States Army, where he played for Army base baseball teams.

Nicknamed "the Cat" ("El Gatito" in Spanish), Millán made his major league debut on June 2, 1966, with the Atlanta Braves and played for Atlanta through 1973, primarily at second base. He appeared in two All-Star Games, the first in 1969 and the second in 1971; he was named an All-Star in 1970 but was unable to participate due to injuries. On November 1, 1972, Millán was acquired along with George Stone by the New York Mets from the Braves in exchange for Gary Gentry and Danny Frisella, a transaction that filled the Mets' need for a reliable everyday second baseman. In 1975, he became the first Met to appear in all 162 games during the season.

Millán holds one of the best at-bat-to-strikeout ratios in modern baseball history, striking out once every twenty-three at bats.
