Saturday All-Star Line-Up

Carlos Baerga: 10:30am

About Carlos Baerga

Carlos Baerga was drafted by the San Diego Padres when he was just 16 years old. He was traded to the Cleveland Indians (now Guardians) along with Sandy Alomar Jr., and in 1990 made his first major league appearance. Baerga and Alomar Jr. became the foundation of a Cleveland club that would dominate the AL Central for years to come. His breakout season was 1992, when the second baseman earned his first selection to the All-Star Game. In back-to-back seasons (1992 and ’93) he hit more than 20 home runs, drove in more than 100 runs, and batted over .300. He was the first second baseman to achieve these numbers in consecutive seasons since Rogers Hornsby did it in 1921 and 1922. In 1995 the team reached the World Series for the first time in 41 years. Baerga hit .314, with 87 runs, 16 HRs, and 90 RBIs that championship season. Baerga had a lengthy career, playing until the 2005 season. His career stats included almost 1600 hits, 134 home runs, 774 RBIs, adding up to a .291 batting average. Meet this Cleveland fan favorite at Strongsville!
