Felix Elvio Jiménez Rivera (born January 6, 1940) is a former professional baseball left fielder who appeared in one game for the New York Yankees in 1964.

Career

The 5-foot-9-inch (1.75 m), 170-pound (77 kg) rookie was signed by the Yankees as an amateur free agent before the 1959 season.

Jiménez made his major league debut on October 4, 1964, and was in the starting lineup at home against the Cleveland Indians for the last game of the season. The Yankees lost the game 2–1 in 13 innings, but Jiménez went 2-for-6 with base hits against Luis Tiant and Tommy John. Jiménez, along with Clarence Dow and Tom Pratt, are the only players to have six at-bats in their only MLB game. He also recorded five putouts with no errors during the game.

Elvio's brother is former major league outfielder Manny Jiménez. In retirement he has served as a scout in the Dominican Republic for the Los Angeles Dodgers and Boston Red Sox.
