Félix Bernardo Millán Martínez (born August 21, 1943 in Yabucoa, Puerto Rico) is a former second baseman in Major League Baseball.
Milan, nicknamed "The Kitten" which in spanish means "El Gatito", made his major league debut on June 2, 1966 with the Atlanta Braves, and played for Atlanta until 1973. He played in two All-Star Games, the first in 1969 and the second in 1971; in 1970 he was named an All-Star, but was unable to participate due to injuries. In 1973, he was traded to the New York Mets, for whom he played until 1977. He played for a total of 12 years. His first game was June 2, 1966 for the Atlanta Braves and his final game was August 12, 1977 for the New York Mets
One of his claims to fame (or infamy) is that when Joe Torre set a record for most double-plays grounded into in a single game (4), Millan had been batting ahead of Torre. Millan singled in all four of his at-bats. As Torre said, "I'd like to thank Felix Millan for making all of this possible." July 21, 1975. [1]
