Orlando Cepeda

This illness worsened the family's living conditions. Cepeda subsequently moved from Daly City to Sunset District seeking a house within the city. The Boston Red Sox contacted him telling him that his role with the team only required batting.

Cepeda was born to a poor family. Pedro Zorilla the team's owner persuaded his family to let him attend a New York Giants tryout. Orlando Manuel "Peruchin" Cepeda Pennes (Spanish pronunciation: [orˈlando seˈpeða]; born September 17 1937) is a former Puerto Rican Major League Baseball first baseman.
