Pagan played in 46 games during the 1973 season with the Philadelphia Phillies, finishing up with a .205 batting average with 16 hits over 78 at-bats while filling in everywhere defensively.
Before his one season in the sun for the Phillies, Pagan played the previous seven and a half years with the Pittsburgh Pirates, including their World Champion 1971 season, generally as a man out of the dugout to fill in wherever needed.
Between 1959, his rookie year, and the middle of 1965 he suited up for the San Francisco Giants, where he played shortstop full-time for a few seasons, even getting some MVP attention in 1962, finishing eleventh in voting for his help getting the Giants to the World Series.
Over his 15-year Big League career Pagan hit an even .250, with 922 hits over 3689 at-bats, playing in 1326 games and playing on two Pennant winners and one World Series champ, hitting .316 in Post Season play with 12 hits over 38 at-bats.
