Junior Francisco Félix Sánchez (born October 3, 1967) is a Dominican former professional baseball player who played in Major League Baseball as an outfielder from Template:Mlby–Template:Mlby. Baseball records list his date of birth in October 1967, but the California Angels and Florida Marlins believed he was older, possibly by up to 10 years.[1]
Career
On May 4, 1989, Félix hit the first pitch he saw in the big leagues for a home run off Kirk McCaskill, but his Blue Jays lost 3–2 in 10 innings.[2] He was the 27th American League player ever to homer in his first major league at-bat, and the 10th to do so on the first pitch.
In the same season on June 2, at Fenway Park, in Boston, Félix hit an inside the park grand slam.[3]
On September 2, 1990, Félix caught the final out of the Blue Jays' first no-hitter, thrown by Dave Stieb.[4]
