Manuel Joseph "Jim" Rivera (July 22, 1921 – November 13, 2017) was an American former Major League Baseball (MLB) outfielder. He played for three teams over ten seasons: St. Louis Browns (1952), Chicago White Sox (1952–1961) and Kansas City Athletics (1961). "Jungle Jim" Rivera, an outfielder on the 1959 "Go-Go" White Sox pennant-winning team, has died. He passed away on Monday, November 13, 2017, in Fort Wayne, Indiana. He was 96. The AL leader in triples in 1953 and steals two years later, "Jungle Jim" played for the White Sox from 1952 to 1961. He was part of the 1959 team that — led by Nellie Fox, Luis Aparicio and Early Wynn — captured the franchise's first pennant since 1919. The White Sox lost the World Series to the Los Angeles Dodgers in six games. Rivera went 0 for 11, and Chicago did not win another pennant until 2005.
