Remember That Guy? José Macías

Whether he was number one in your hearts is up to you. He was number one on the scorecard for the Cubs in 2004-05. That was his uniform number.

The Panamanian utility man played seven MLB seasons, making stops in Detroit & Montreal before playing his final two MLB seasons on the North Side.

As a Major Leaguer, he played every position except pitcher, catcher and first base. However if asked what Macías’ true position was, one might say the answer is pinch hitter. He played in 210 games for the Cubs; 110 were as pinch hitter.
