Nov. 27, 1961 - The Chicago White Sox traded Orestes (Minnie) Minoso, their Cuban outfield star, to the St. Louis Cardinals for Joe Cunningham, a first baseman-outfielder. Minoso, who will be 39 on Wednesday, has been in the majors 12 seasons and has batted under .300 only twice. The second of these under-.300 years was 1961, when he hit .280. However, he batted in 82 runs. Cunningham, 30, has been with the Cardinals 6 years. He had his best year in 1959 when he batted .345, only to lose the National League batting title by 10 points to Hank Aaron of the Braves.
