Manuel De Jesus Sanguillén Magan, better known as Manny Sanguillén (Born in Colon, Panama on March 21, 1944- ), is a former Panamanian catcher who played for the Pittsburgh Pirates (1967, 1969-1976, 1978-1980) and Oakland A’s (1977). Sanguillen was an integral part of the Pirates teams of the 1970s and won World Series championships with the team in 1971 and 1979. He was a fantastic defensive catcher who also hit .296 for his career, though he was not a power hitter. Sanguillen was a three-time All-Star, even though he was often overshadowed by his National League counterpart, Johnny Bench.
