Vic Power

Victor Felipe Pellot Pové (November 1, 1927 – November 29, 2005), known professionally as Vic Power, was a Puerto Rican professional baseball first baseman who played twelve seasons in Major League Baseball from 1954 through 1965. Born in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, the second child in a family of six, he carried the surnames Pellot, from his father, and Pové, his mother's maiden name. He used the name Vic Power during his major league career but played as Victor Pellot in winter baseball in Puerto Rico.

Power played for the Philadelphia and Kansas City Athletics, the Cleveland Indians, the Minnesota Twins, the Los Angeles and California Angels, and the Philadelphia Phillies. He was the second Puerto Rican of African descent to play in the majors after integration and the second Puerto Rican to play in the American League, following Hiram Bithorn.

He was an American League All-Star for four seasons, appearing in five of the six All-Star games played during those years. In 1955, Power and Luis Arroyo became the first Puerto Ricans selected to the MLB All-Star Game. He won seven consecutive Gold Glove Awards and was the first Puerto Rican to win the Golden Glove.
