About Me: As a player, Peña was known for his defensive skills with the Pirates, Cardinals, Red Sox, Indians, White Sox and Astros. He won four Gold Glove Awards and was a five-time All-Star. He was known for his habit of sitting on the ground when there were no runners on base, one leg splayed out to the side, in an arrangement some call the hurdler's position. He did this in order to help his pitchers keep their pitches low in the strike zone.
For the National League Championship Series and World Series in 1987, he hit 17-for-43 in that postseason, with 4 RBIs in the WS.
While playing for the Indians in the opening game of the 1995 American League Division Series, he hit a game-winning homer against his former team the Boston Red Sox.
Peña led Águilas Cibaeñas, a professional baseball team in his native Dominican Republic's winter league, to two domestic championships (1998 and 2000) and a 2001 Caribbean World Series title.
