}} Tomás Gustavo Gil Guillén (April 19, 1939 – December 8, 2015) was a Venezuelan professional baseball player.[1] He played in Major League Baseball as a second baseman for the Cleveland Indians (1967), Seattle Pilots (1969), and Milwaukee Brewers (1970-1971). He also played 19 seasons in the Venezuelan Professional Baseball League. Playing careerGil was a talented defensive specialist with a career fielding percentage that was 8 points higher than the league average over the span of his playing career.[1] Unfortunately, like many infielders of his time, Gil was a light hitter, and his major league career coincided with what has been called the second deadball era, when batting averages and run production in both leagues were at an unusually low level.[2] He was signed as an amateur free agent by the Cincinnati Reds in 1959.[3] He spent the next seven seasons playing in the minor leagues before being purchased by the Indians in 1966.[4] He joined the Indians' major league club in 1967, at the age of 27.[1] Career highlights include a game-tying, two-run pinch hit double in the top of the ninth inning against the New York Yankees, then scored to put the Pilots ahead to stay, winning 5–4 (June 14, 1969);[5] a walk-off, two-run double with two outs in the bottom of the ninth for the Brewers as they came from behind and defeated the Minnesota Twins, 4–3 (June 23, 1970);[6] drove in both Milwaukee runs with a pair of sacrifice flies in a 2–1 win over the Kansas City Royals (July 5, 1970);[7] hit the only home run of his major league career, a solo shot against Chicago White Sox left-hander Jim Magnuson (August 5, 1970).[8] In between major league seasons, Gil also played winter baseball with the Industriales de Valencia, Navegantes del Magallanes and Cardenales de Lara clubs of the Venezuelan Professional Baseball League in a career spanning 19 seasons from 1959 to 1977. In the 1970 Caribbean Series, he hit .387, scored four runs, and had a series-leading seven RBI, to help the Magallanes win the series, marking the first time a Venezuelan team had won the Caribbean title. In the 1973 Caribbean Series, Gil earned a spot on the series' All-Star team. Career statisticsIn a four-year major league career, Gil played in 221 games, accumulating 87 hits in 468 at bats for a .186 career batting average along with one home run, 37 runs batted in and an on-base percentage of .272.[1] His performance as a fielder was much better, with 186 putouts, 192 assists and 36 double plays, but only 5 errors out of 383 total chances for a .982 fielding percentage.[1] Managing careerAfter his playing career, he served as manager for the Aguilas del Zulia in the Venezuelan Winter League in 1979.[9] He also managed the Danville Suns in 1982, and the Bluefield Orioles in 1990 and 1991.[10][11][12] HonorsIn 2008, Gil was inducted into the Venezuelan Baseball Hall of Fame.[13] Gil died in 2015 in Phoenix, Arizona, at the age of 76.[14] See also{{Portal|Biography}}
