SOURCE SPORTS: Latin Baseball Legend, San Francisco Giants Hall of Famer Orlando Cepeda Dies at 86 – The Source
![SOURCE SPORTS: Latin Baseball Legend, San Francisco Giants Hall of Famer Orlando Cepeda Dies at 86 – The Source](https://thesource.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Screenshot-2024-06-30-at-4.23.27-AM.png)
Orlando Cepeda, the San Francisco Giants first baseman nicknamed “The Baby Bull,” died Friday in his home. He was 86.
“MLB mourns the passing of Hall of Famer Orlando Cepeda at the age of 86,” Major League Baseball tweeted. “Known as ‘Cha-Cha’ and ‘The Baby Bull,’ Cepeda slugged 379 home runs, batted .297, and made 11 All-Star teams over 17 seasons. He was unanimously selected as the NL Rookie of the Year in 1958 with the Giants. He was also a unanimous selection for the the NL MVP Award in 1967 when he helped lead the Cardinals to the World Series championship.”
Cepeda was the son of Puerto Rican baseball player Perucho Cepeda, who was not allowed to play in the major leagues because he was Black. Cepeda’s own career began after Pedro Zorilla convinced his family to send him to the United States to try out for the then-New York Giants. He passed the team’s tryout but was sent to the Salem Rebels.
The San Francisco Giants brought Cepeda onboard in 1958, and he closed out his first season as the National League Rookie of the Year. After spending a few more seasons with the Giants, Cepeda was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals in 1966. Though he was named the National League Comeback Player of the Year after his first season, his performance suffered throughout the following two seasons and he was traded to the Atlanta Braves in 1969.
Cepeda retired from baseball in 1974. He was arrested at San Juan International Airport for drug possession the following year after he attempted to pick up two boxes containing marijuana that had been flown in from Colombia. Cepeda served 9 months of a 5 year sentence, but was never able to fully shed his criminal conviction.
Cepeda was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1999.
The baseball great was born in Ponce, Puerto Rico, on Sept. 17, 1937. Despite his father’s success in baseball, the family grew up “very poor,” he said in an interview. “My father [legendary player Pedro Cepeda]… was a great baseball player. In those days, a black player didn’t have a chance to play in the big leagues,” Cepeda explained. “So my dad used to go to Cuba, used to go to Dominican Republic, Venezuela… I think he went to Mexico one year.”
Cepeda’s survivors include his wife Nydia and 5 sons, Hector, Orlando Jr., Carl, Malcolm and Ali.

Olivia Culpo and San Francisco 49ers star Christian McCaffrey have officially tied the knot after more than four years of dating.
Culpo, 32, and McCaffrey, 28, tied the knot on Saturday, June 29, in a church in Watch Hill, Rhode Island, according to Vogue.
“It’s a covenant. It’s the beginning of the rest of your life — and it’s the union and bond of two people forever,” Culpo, who wore a Dolce & Gabbana ball gown, told the outlet of the big day.
Following her split from Danny Amendola, Culpo was set up with McCaffrey in June 2019. The couple went public with their relationship in February 2020.
“Happy Valentine’s Day to my best friend. Thank you for changing my life and showing me the kind of love I always wanted but never thought was possible,” Culpo wrote via Instagram at the time. “You are the definition of an answered prayer. I am the luckiest girl in the world.”
McCaffrey, for his part, shared a series of pictures of himself and Culpo with the caption, “Never a dull moment with you. Happy Valentine’s Day.”
Culpo later admitted that she was “not looking for a relationship” when she connected with the football player.
“Three years ago I was not looking for a relationship. When my best friends Kristen & Tyler called me and asked if I would be open to meeting their friend Christian I was apprehensive,” she wrote in June 2022 via Instagram. “I was worried it would be the same old story all over again and that all guys were the same. While my expectations were low, I knew I couldn’t close myself off and make decisions based on fear.”

Culpo continued: “I’m so grateful for the voice inside me that told me to give love another chance. The yin to my yang, you are the epitome of strength through humility. Thank you for being my rock and restoring my faith in love. You are everything I ever dreamed of and more ❤️ ❤️.”
Nearly five months later, Culpo got candid about how she and McCaffrey make their relationship work despite how busy they are with their own careers.
“We’re both really understanding about [our] schedules and the way that things have to work for the time being, and that definitely helps,” she told Us Weekly at the time. “I think when you’re on the same page with that you can, you really can make it work.”
After three years of dating, the couple got engaged in April 2023. They’ve continued to be each other’s biggest supporters, with Culpo cheering for McCaffrey and the 49ers at Super Bowl LVIII four months before their wedding day. McCaffrey’s team didn’t take home the win — the Kansas City Chiefs beat the 49ers 25-22 — but Culpo was proud to watch her then-fiancé on the field.
“My heart is full of so many emotions,” she captioned a TikTok video in February. “Sad because I wish the outcome was different, but ultimately grateful I get the opportunity to watch someone I love do what he loves and pour his heart and soul into becoming better every single day.”
She added, “I’m so proud of you Christian, you deserve the world. Thank you all so much for the love and support this year! It means so much.”
