This is the fifth in a series of posts about Astros players in franchise history who played in one career Major League game. The first post was the sad tale of Jay Dahl, then the sort-of-awesome tale of John Paciorek, then the wholly unique tale of Larry Yount. Today we take a look at pitcher Rafael Montalvo.
Rafael Edgardo Montalvo was born on March 31, 1964 in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico. He left the 10th grade to sign a minor-league contract with the Dodgers as a 16-year old (leaving high school was a decision he would later regret), Montalvo found himself in the Dodgers' organization playing in Rookie ball against opponents who were, on average, four years older than he.
