WHO IS José Cardenal?

A second cousin to Bert Campaneris, Cardenal was from baseball-crazy Matanzas, where scouts flocked to watch him as a teenager. He was short, pigeon-toed, and bony: only about 145 pounds when he accepted the promise of a professional contract and a $200 signing bonus from the San Francisco Giants in 1960. Cardenal took a boat out of Cuba just after the revolution when he was only 16 years old. He spent part of his bonus money to buy his first new pair of shoes.
