    Person Record

    Name Fregosi, Jim Notes "Jim Fregosi was a four-letter athlete in 1959, that golden year of sports at Serra High School in San Mateo. But it was in baseball that the Serra infielder made his career. At Serra, he anchored an infield that brought Serra its first sports championship in the old Catholic League. After short sints at Menlo College and Santa Clara University, Fregosi joined the California Angels in 1961 at the age of 19. His second year he batted .290 and his career took off. During his 10 years playing with the Angels, he was named to the American League All-Star team four times (1967-1970) at shortstop. In 1971, he called on his track skills which were nurtured at Serra to win the team stolen-base crown with 34 steals.
    After two years with the New York Mets, Fregosi finished his career with the Texas Rangers. He concluded his 18-year playing career with a .265 average, 157 home run and 706 RBIs. Fregosi then turned to managing, and his first major league call came from his original team, the Angels, in 1978.
    From Southern California, he went to the Chicago White Sox as skipper. He concluded his six years managing there with a 359-385 record." [2009.030.065] Imagefile Fregosi, Jim.jpg Role Athlete Othernames James

    Jim Fregosi

    Most famous today for being on the wrong end of one of history’s most lopsided trades, Jim Fregosi was a six-time All-Star who drew comparisons with the finest players in the game at a young age. But an 18-year major league playing career, coupled with 15 years as a big league manager, are enough evidence that Fregosi deserves to be remembered for more than being traded for Nolan Ryan.

    James Louis Fregosi was born on April 4, 1942 in San Francisco, California. His parents, Archie and Margaret, owned and operated a grocery, and the family (including Jim’s older brother and older sister), lived comfortably in San Mateo. “The first thing I remember,” Jim recalled early in his career, “is standing on a basket putting groceries in a paper bag. All my life, my dad has been getting up at four in the morning and working until six at night.” Besides working for his father, Jim later toiled as a busboy in a local restaurant.1

    During the day, he played every sport he could and became a great local athlete. Jim’s dad, a former semi-pro baseball player, sponsored and coached Jim’s youth ball team, the Fregosi Market nine, and snuck away from work to see his other teams when he could. At Serra High School Jim won 11 varsity letters, earning All-League honors in football, ba
