Valentine’s Day

The Cubs have never had a player named Valentine, but they came awful close in the 1950s…

~Vito Valentinetti 1928 (Cubs 1956-1957)
Vito was a righthanded reliever who pitched for the Cubs. He won six games and saved another in his first full big league season (1956), but was traded to the Dodgers for Don Elston the following May. The New York native never played for Brooklyn. He finished his career with the Washington Senators in 1959.
