Cookie Rojas

Your major league career started in Cincinnati. Some years later, it ended in Kansas City. You played every position, but primarily second base. Many seasons involved a pennant chase. Not many knew your real name was Octavio. The nickname “Cookie” is the one we would know. You came a long way from your origins in Cuba. Your had your best seasons while playing for Philadelphia. As a player and later a coach, you could do it all. In your time, you were an asset to baseball.
