Ellie Rodriguez from the Chronology
Oct 22, 1973 - The Angels and Brewers engineer a 10-player swap featuring P Clyde Wright and OF Ken Berry going to Milwaukee and P Skip Lockwood C Ellie Rodriguez and OF Ollie Brown heading to California.
Jul 9, 1969 - With the Twins hosting Kansas City the Royals Bob Oliver attempts to steal 2B with Ellie Rodriguez at bat. Catcher John Roseboro pushes Rodriguez's bat out of the way and his throw to 2B nails Oliver. After huddling 8 minutes with his umpire crew home plate ump John Rice declares Rodriguez out for interference and orders Oliver back to 1B though (as author Rich Marazzi points out) the rule states that an out nullifies an interference call. The Royals win 4-3. Killebrew accounts for all the Twins scoring with a homer.
