Daniel Francisco Monzon was an American professional baseball infielder, manager and scout. A third baseman, primarily in minor league baseball, he appeared in 94 games for the Minnesota Twins of Major League Baseball in 1972?1973. He threw and batted right-handed, stood 5 feet, 9 inches tall and weighed 175 pounds. A native of Bronx, New York, Monzon graduated from James Monroe High School in 1964 and attended Buena Vista College in Storm Lake, Iowa. He was drafted by the Twins in the second round of the secondary phase of the June 1967 Major League Baseball draft, and enjoyed his finest professional season that year with the Short Season-A Auburn Twins, leading the New York-Penn League in runs scored, total bases, and triples, tying for the lead in runs batted in, and finishing second in batting average. Monzon also enjoyed stellar seasons in the Double-A Southern League and Triple-A Pacific Coast League, but his two seasons with the MLB Twins saw him play a utility role, appearing at second and third base, shortstop, and in the outfield. He batted .244 with no home runs and nine RBI in 131 at bats, and returned to the minor leagues in 1974.
