Robinson Cano

I am going to keep my blog topic about baseball. I will be talking about my other favorite player. He might not be a big player that everyone may like but I do like him. His name is Robinson Cano. Robinson Cano was born on October 22 1982 in San Pedro De Macoris,Dominican Republic. He is the second basemen for The New York Yankees. He was named after Major league player Jackie Robinson. Cano was called up to the major leagues on May 3,2005, while hitting .333 in 108 at bats in AAA.Canó finished the year, however, with the 3rd-worst walk percentage in the league, 3.0%. In 2006 Canó led the AL All-Star balloting at second base, but could not play after being placed on the disabled list for a strained hamstring.

After his return from injury Cano came back, Cano lead the league in batting average,doubles, and runs batted in. Canó finished 2006 with the third best batting average in the AL (.342, just 2 points behind teammate shortstop Derek Jeter and five points behind Minnesota Twins catcher Joe Mauer. Canó finished 22nd in American League MVP voting with 3 votes.
