You can trace the Class Mountain States League where he was burning up the league. He tapered off to a very respectable .322 in the Class Big State League but 29 games hardly gave his average a chance to hit its true level. At Middleboro where he was the first 24 years of his career, Rodriguez, who is now only 22, wrrote his own diploma last season with a .384 average for 94 games. He punched 10 homers while alternating between the outfield and second and third base and catcher. Starting off in 1951 at Middleboro.

Rodriguez batted .278, and hit only six home runs. One, however, provided him with his top sports thrill. It came with the bases loaded in the ninth inning and won the game. The 1952 season saw his average rise to .290. Though he stroked only four circuit smashes.
