Dossier

José Antonio Pagán Rodríguez (May 5, 1935 – June 7, 2011) was a Puerto Rican professional baseball player and coach. Born in Barceloneta, Puerto Rico, he played fifteen seasons in Major League Baseball as an infielder and outfielder for three National League teams from 1959 to 1973.

Pagán made his major league debut at age 24 with the San Francisco Giants on August 8, 1959. His best full season came in 1962, when he hit .259 with a career-high 57 runs batted in and 73 runs scored, collecting 150 hits for the only time in his career as the Giants won the National League pennant. In the 1962 World Series he hit .368 with a home run, though the Giants lost to the New York Yankees in seven games.

On May 22, 1965, the Giants traded Pagán to the Pittsburgh Pirates for Dick Schofield. As a member of the Pirates he won three consecutive National League Eastern Division titles between 1970 and 1972. He drove in the winning run for Pittsburgh in the seventh game of the 1971 World Series. Pagán later worked as a coach.
