In the 1980s, Toronto called Infante the best defensive shortstop in the American League next to Chicago's Ozzie Guillén. Infante had an exceptional range and enough arm to make the throw from the hole, but he was unable to help himself with the bat.
In a four-season career, Infante was mostly used as a late-inning defense replacement or as a pinch runner. He posted a .109 batting average with 11 runs scored in 60 games.
AlexisInfante was born on Monday, December 4, 1961, in Barquisimeto, Lara, Venezuela.
Infante was 25 years old when he broke into the big leagues on September 27, 1987, with the Toronto Blue Jays.
His biographical data, year-by-year hitting stats, fielding stats, pitching stats (where applicable), career totals, uniform numbers, salary data and miscellaneous items-of-interest are presented by Baseball Almanac on this comprehensive AlexisInfante baseball stats page.
Alexis boldly presented himself to the central police station and reported the theft of his passport and identity card and requested a temporary identification document until he was able to obtain a new passport (Note 23).
Alexis bases this claim on the allegation that his maternal grandmother was Grand Duchess Maria, one of the four daughters of Tsar Nicolas II (who, he claims did not perish at the Ipatiev house, but married prince Nicolas Dolgorouki, who used the alias "di Fonzo" in order to escape from Russia).
Alexis' story is academic now that Russian and American forensic authorities have found the bones of nine (including those of Grand Duchess Maria) of the eleven executed at the Ipatiev house by the Bolcheviks and are currently genetically testing them and comparing them with samples of hair belonging to members of the family.
