Biography
Otoniel "Otto" Vélez Franceschi (born November 29, 1950 in Ponce, Puerto Rico) was a Major League Baseball outfielder from 1973 to 1983. He was nicknamed "The Swatto".
He is one of several players to hit four home runs in a doubleheader, accomplishing the feat on May 4, 1980, for the Toronto Blue Jays against the Cleveland Indians. This feat was also notable in that Velez hit one of each possible home run in the doubleheader, that is, a solo, two-run, three-run home run as well as a grand slam, therefore "hitting for the cycle" in home runs.
