Ángel Manuel Pagán〔(@beisbolporgotas ), Twitter〕 (born July 2, 1981) is a Puerto Rican professional baseball center fielder for the San Francisco Giants of Major League Baseball. Raised in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico, he began playing baseball at age six. Pagán's original contract in Major League Baseball was with the New York Mets, but he was transferred to the Chicago Cubs when they bought his contract. Pagán was subsequently traded back to the Mets prior to the 2008 season. On December 5, 2011, he was traded to the San Francisco Giants for Andrés Torres and Ramón Ramírez. Pagán was given the nickname "El Caballo Loco" (Spanish for "Crazy Horse") by his Mets teammates.
==Early life==
Ángel Manuel Pagán was born and raised in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico. His mother, Gloria, was a fan of baseball and played in a men's fastpitch softball league. The family lived in a crowded apartment with his brother and sister, and the energetic Pagán did not have space to run. His mother hoped to direct Pagán's high level of energy into a constructive outlet, and encouraged the child to play the sport.〔 He joined a tee ball team at age six, and continued playing throughout childhood. Baseball helped him avoid the dangers of his neighborhood; he recalls, "It was tough to come out of that place a good person. Selling drugs or something. It was a bad neighborhood. A lot of my friends couldn't survive that world. But (mother ) made me strong enough to forget about that path and go to the positive one."〔 He also developed interests in basketball and boxing, "But there was something about baseball," he said. "I fell in love with the sport."〔
The Mets showed early interest, making him their 4th round pick in the 1999 Amateur draft. After failing to come to terms, Pagan played ball at Indian River State College in Florida, eventually coming to terms with the Mets the day before they would have lost signing rights. He spent 5 seasons in the Mets farm system before the Chicago Cubs acquired him.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ángel Pagán )〕
