A few years ago the Wall Street Journal did a front page story about players who appeared briefly in the Bigs. Estrada was one of the featured players. I think it said that he played for a while in Mexico after his MLB "career" hoping for another shot. I hope he's doing well.

Paquin was visible again recently as manager of the Mexican team that knocked the U.S. out of the World Baseball Classic.

The mlb.com website provides some more detail on his career, beyond what previous posters have given us:

"Paquin Estrada tallied 26 seasons as a catcher in the Mexican Baseball League and 30 years in the Mexican Pacific Winter League, holding the record for games played in each. His eight appearances in the Caribbean Series are a record for both a catcher and Mexican player. In an abbreviated Major League Baseball career, Estrada played in one game as a member of the New York Mets in 1971, collecting a base hit in two at bats. Later that year, he was traded from the Mets to the California Angels, in a multi-player deal that included Nolan Ryan. Currently the manager of both the Culiacan Tomateros of the Mexican Pacific Winter League and the Campeche Piratas of the Mexican Baseball League, Estrada has amassed 33 years as a skipper. Since his managerial debut in 1983 when he led the Campeche Piratas to a league championship, Estrada has collected a remarkable 12 titles in the Mexican Baseball League (1983, 1990, 2004), Mexican Pacific Winter League (1983, 1985, 1996, 1997, 1999, 2002, 2004) and Caribbean Series (1996 and 2002)."
