Early life
Chávez was born on 27 June 1962 in Mexico City, Mexico. His father was Al Pinkston, an American baseball player who was playing for Rojos del Aguila de Veracruz of the Mexican League at the time of his birth. Pinkston wanted to take Chávez with him back to the U.S., but his mother wouldn't allow it, going as far as changing Chávez's name to prevent him from doing so. Chávez never met Pinkston in person, but in 1982 he attempted to reach out to him after learning of his heritage, only to find out that he had died a year earlier.
Club career
Chávez played club football for Necaxa, América, Atlante and Universidad Nacional. He spent most of his 20-year career with América.
International career
