[edit] Biography

Luis Emilio Gonzalez was born on September 3, 1967 in Tampa, Florida. He made his Major League debut on September 4, 1990 for the Houston Astros. In 1991, his rookie year, he hit .254 with 13 home runs and 69 RBI. Gonzalez played for the Houston Astros, Chicago Cubs, Detroit Tigers and Arizona Diamondbacks over the course of his 17 year career.

Although Gonzalez was an infielder at the University of South Alabama under former Eddie Stanky protege Steve Kittrell, the Astros converted him to the outfield.

Most people believe that Luis Gonzalez's best season was 2001, when he slugged 57 home runs, hit for a .325 average and knocked in 142 runs.
