Menechino’s only season as a big-league regular was a pretty solid one as the A’s earned the American League’s wild-card berth in 2001.
Menechino was second in the AL with 19 hit by pitches.
Among second basemen in the league, Menechino was third with a .369 on-base percentage.
Against the Yankees in the ALDS, Menechino started four of the five games (he did not play in Game 4) and was 1-for-12 with two runs, a walk and four strikeouts as the A’s went down in five games.
