Timeline
Camilo Carreón (August 6, 1937 – September 2, 1987) was an American professional baseball player.
The catcher appeared in 354 games over all or parts of eight Major League Baseball seasons between and for the Chicago White Sox, Cleveland Indians and Baltimore Orioles.
His son Mark was also a major league player.
Born in Colton, California, Camilo Carreón threw and batted right-handed, and was listed as 6 ft tall and 190 lb.
Signed by the White Sox in 1956, Carreón rose steadily through their farm system, hitting over .300 at three different levels, including .311 in 1959 with Indianapolis in the Triple-A American Association, with 165 hits and 91 runs batted in.
He was named the Association's All-Star catcher.
Carreón made his major league debut on September 27, 1959, the closing day of Chicago's pennant-winning season.
He hit a fly ball out against Pete Burnside of the Detroit Tigers in his only at bat.
He was late reporting to Sarasota, Florida, for spring training in 1960 because of service in the U.S. Army, then spent the bulk of the campaign back in Triple-A, this time with San Diego of the Pacific Coast League, and hit .279 in 109 games.
He then received his second consecutive September call-up, batting .235 in eight games, including seven starts as catcher.
Carreón made the White Sox for good in, getting into 78 games, with 63 starts at catcher in relief of 37-year-old veteran star Sherm Lollar.
He hit a two-run single off Whitey Ford to give Juan Pizarro a 2–1 victory over the New York Yankees on August 15, 1961.
The second-inning hit enabled the White Sox to break Ford's 14-game winning streak.
Overall, he hit .271 in his first full MLB season.
The next year,, he supplanted Lollar as the White Sox' regular catcher, starting 85 games and hitting .256.
His best big-league season came in, when he played in 101 games and hit .274, starting 81 games behind the plate.
It was his last full and healthy season in the majors.
The White Sox placed Carreón on the disabled list on July 3, 1964, after he tore tendons in his right arm.
During the 1964–65 offseason, Chicago traded him to the Cleveland Indians as part of a blockbuster three-way trade involving the Kansas City Athletics that also included Rocky Colavito, Tommy John and Tommie Agee.
Going into the campaign, Carreón was listed as the Indians' second-string catcher, behind Joe Azcue.
But he played only 19 games with the Tribe, spent 45 games back in Triple-A with Portland of the Pacific Coast League, and was one of five players assigned outright to Portland in October 1965.
Cleveland then traded Carreón to the Orioles during spring training of 1966 in a one-for-one deal for Lou Piniella, then a 22-year-old, minor league outfielder in the Baltimore organization.
The Orioles were en route to their first-ever American League pennant that season, but Carreón got into only four games for Baltimore (his last on June 8, when he hit a double in his final MLB at bat), and spent the latter half of the year with Triple-A Rochester.
He played two more minor league seasons before retiring from baseball.
As a major leaguer, Carreón collected 260 hits, including 43 doubles, four triples, and 11 home runs, with 114 runs batted in.
Defensively, he recorded a .993 fielding percentage as a catcher, committing only 13 errors in 1,776 total chances.
He died in Tucson, Arizona, at the age of 50, and is buried in the Hermosa Memorial Cemetery in Colton.
