Tito Francona?
He played in both leagues in the late 50's - 1970.

You're probably thinking of Tito Fuentes -- he's the only "Tito" in MLB in that time frame, but he was a second baseman.
San Francisco Giants 1965-67, '69-74
San Diego Padres 1975-76
Detroit Tigers 1977
Oakland Athletics 1978

Probably Tito Fuentes. Tito Landrum was good too, but played in the 80's.
