David “Dave” Rosello Rodríguez Obituary, Kissimmee, Florida: Former MLB Infielder Remembered at 76

Baseball is mourning former Major League Baseball infielder David “Dave” Rosello Rodríguez, who passed away in Kissimmee, Florida, on September 30, 2026. A native of Mayagüez, Puerto Rico, Rosello was remembered for his contributions to professional baseball and his devotion to his family.


Born on June 26, 1949, Rosello pursued a professional baseball career that spanned nine MLB seasons. He made his major league debut with the Chicago Cubs in 1972 and played primarily as a second baseman and shortstop. He later joined the Cleveland Indians, appearing in 422 major league games over his career.

Rosello's most extensive playing opportunity with Chicago came in 1976, when he appeared in 91 games. Known for his defensive ability, he also delivered memorable moments at the plate. One notable highlight came in July 1977, when he drove in the winning run during a 13-inning victory over the Cincinnati Reds.

After his time with the Cubs, Rosello continued his career in Cleveland, playing for the Indians from 1979 through 1981. He finished his MLB career with a .236 batting average, 10 home runs, and 76 runs batted in. His professional journey reflected years of dedication to the sport.

Beyond his playing career, Rosello maintained a strong connection to baseball through coaching. His family obituary describes his love for teaching the game, encouraging others, and sharing his knowledge with younger players.

He is survived by his wife, Virgen Rodríguez, his children, Noemi Rosello Rodríguez and David E. Rosello Rodríguez, two stepchildren, and five grandchildren. His family remembers him for his humor, welcoming personality, and the happiness he found in spending time with loved ones.

Dave Rosello's passing marks the loss of a former major league player whose life extended beyond the baseball field. His legacy lives on through his family, the players he coached, and the memories he created throughout his career.
