[edit] Biography

Benito Santiago (Benito (Rivera) Santiago) was born on March 9, 1965 in Ponce, Puerto Rico. He made his Major League debut on September 14, 1986 for the San Diego Padres. In 1987, his rookie year, he hit .300 with 18 home runs and 79 RBI. Santiago played for the San Diego Padres, Florida Marlins, Cincinnati Reds, Philadelphia Phillies, Toronto Blue Jays, Chicago Cubs, San Francisco Giants, Kansas City Royals and Pittsburgh Pirates over the course of his 20 year career.

Santiago was mentioned in the Mitchell Report. At the end of the 2003 season, Mike Murphy, a Giants clubhouse attendant, was cleaning out Santiago’s locker when he found a sealed package of syringes. Murphy brought the syringes to the training room, handed them to the Giants trainer, Stan Conte (no relation to Victor Conte), and told Conte that he had found them in Santiago’s locker. Conte responded that he "would take care of it". Murphy recalled that the Giants assistant athletic trainer Dave Groeschner also was present in the training room during this conversation.

There is some disagreement on what was Benito Santiago's most productive season. Some believe that it was 1996, when he slugged 30 home runs and knocked in 85 runs. However, others believe that it was 1987, when he slugged 18 home runs, hit for a .300 average and knocked in 79 runs.
