Timeline

1972

Romar Benjamin Gil Aguilar (born October 6, 1972) is a Mexican former professional baseball infielder and coach.

1990

In 1990, he went 6–3 with 89 strikeouts and a San Diego County leading 0.52 earned run average.

1991

As a senior in 1991, Gil pitched a no-hitter.

Gil was also a good hitter, however, and when the Texas Rangers selected Gil nineteenth overall in the 1991 Major League Baseball draft, it was as a shortstop.

1992

Gil displayed decent power, clubbing nine home runs for the South Atlantic League's Gastonia Rangers in 1992.

1993

He made his major league debut in the 1993 season opener at twenty years old, going 0-for-3 with a walk in four plate appearances.

By late May, however, he was back in the minors with the Double-A Tulsa Drillers after batting .123 with two runs batted in for the Rangers.

1995

He would not return to the majors until the 1995 season.

On May 3, his first major league home run accounted for the Rangers' lone run in a 5–1 loss to the Seattle Mariners.

He followed this up with home runs in his next two games on his way to a career best nine for the season.

He also appeared in a career high 130 games, and posted career highs in runs batted in (46), runs (36), hits (91) and extra-base hits (32), while also providing a steady glove at short (.974 fielding percentage, and a league-leading 5.18 range factor per nine innings as a shortstop).

1996

A herniated disc in Spring training kept Gil off the 1996 opening day roster.

By the time he was ready to return, off-season acquisition Kevin Elster had won the starting job, and Gil found himself back in the minors with the Oklahoma City 89ers.

He received a call up to the majors that September, and was 2-for-5 in seven plate appearances.

1997

He was once again the Rangers' starting shortstop in 1997.

Gil was traded following the 1997 season to the Chicago White Sox for pitchers Al Levine and Larry Thomas.

Gil spent his one season in the White Sox organization with the Pacific Coast League's Calgary Cannons, where he batted .248 with fourteen home runs and 69 RBIs (a career high for Gil at any level).

1999

Coincidentally, Gil also spent the 1999 season with Calgary after they became a Florida Marlins affiliate, and he was drafted by the Marlins in the 1998 minor league draft.

2000

Just as spring training 2000 was set to begin, Gil signed as a free agent with the Anaheim Angels.

Slated to be the backup to incumbent Gary DiSarcina, Gil soon found himself starting when an injury ended DiSarcina's season.

2001

David Eckstein became the Angels' starting shortstop in 2001, with Gil sliding into a backup middle infielder role.

2002

He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Texas Rangers and the Anaheim Angels with whom he won the 2002 World Series.

He was the infield coach for the Los Angeles Angels.

In 2002, Gil actually saw more playing time at second base than he did at short.

He had a far more limited role than he had his previous two seasons in Anaheim, however, he made it to the postseason for the only time in his career.

In game two of the 2002 American League Division Series against the New York Yankees, Gil had an RBI single off Andy Petitte.

In game four, he was 3-for-3 with a run scored.

In the Angels' 2002 World Series victory over the San Francisco Giants, Gil went 4-for-5 with a double and a run scored.

2003

Gil's 2003 season got off to a slow start, going 0-for-14.

The Angels released him in early August with a .192 batting average, one home run and nine RBIs.

Shortly afterwards, he signed with the Cleveland Indians.

He was released at the end of the season after batting .139 for the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons.

Over the next two seasons, Gil spent time in the Colorado Rockies, Chicago Cubs, Detroit Tigers, Seattle Mariners and New York Mets organizations, but failed to make the Major League roster of any of these teams.

Along the way, he also landed on the Mexican League's Tijuana Toros.

2005

When the Mets released Gil in July 2005, it would turn out to be his final stint with a major league franchise.

After finishing out the 2005 season with the New Jersey Jackals of the Canadian-American Association, Gil would spend the next six seasons playing ball in Mexico.

2007

In 2007, he won the Mexican League Championship with Sultanes de Monterrey.

2020

Gil has served as manager of the Mexico national baseball team in the 2020 Summer Olympics and the 2023 World Baseball Classic.

He has also managed the Tomateros de Culiacán and Charros de Jalisco, both in the Mexican Pacific League.

Gil was a star pitcher for Castle Park High School in Chula Vista, California.
