<!-- He played for the Criollos during five seasons before joining the Cardenales BBC in 1936 and then the Deportivo Caracas in 1937. By then, the appearance of professional baseball in Venezuela attracted many ball players from the Caribbean and the United States to the country, showing a more integrated sport there than it was in the United States. Among others, This is evidenced in the hiring of stellar pitchers like Ramón Bragaña, Martín Dihigo, Oscar Estrada, Bertrum Hunter, Satchel Paige and. Roy Welmaker and

Carrasquel enjoyed his breakout season in 1933, as he posted a 9-1 record with 64 strikeouts in 81.0 innings to guide the Criollos to the pennant title. He also led the league in wins, complete games (7) and innings, while his earned run average was an excellent 0.44, second only to Cuban star Martín Dihigo (0.36). Overall, he went 52-26 with 173 strikeouts and a 1.71 ERA in his seven seasons in the league.

 * Alejandro was signed as an 18-year-old by his country’s Royal Criollos team in 1930 and pitched his first professional game for the club the following spring. Over the next few years, Carrasquel played for several other teams in his homeland, and traveled to pitch in other baseball countries as he gained experience on themound
 * Unlike this era in which international players sign at 16, Carrasquel reached the majors at 27 after a succesful stint as a pitcher in Venezuela and Cuba, where he played with Valdés, where he was seen by renowned scout Joe Cambria, who recommended him to Clark Griffith, the owner of the Washington Senators.
 * His nephew Alfonso “Chico” Carrasquel made his own mark on the history books in 1951 when he became the first Latin American to play in an All-Star Game.

 * The league in Mexico had the option of moving a player from team to team for attempted parity purposes, and Carrasquel wound up pitching for several squads over the next three summers. From 1946–48, he pitched for Veracruz, Mexico City, and Monterrey, respectively, with an overall 44–27 record.
 * With the lifting of his organized baseball suspension, Carrasquel was able to return to the Venezuelan winter league for the 1949–50 season. After pitching two seasons for Cerveceria Caracas, the 40-year-old moundsman rejoined his original club, Magallanes, but pitched very sparingly. In 1953–54, the fading hurler made two appearances with Gavilanes of Venezuela’s Occidental league. These efforts closed out his post–Major League winter pitching career in his homeland. His record of 12–20 in those five years reflected a pitcher past his prime.
 * Carrasquel bounced around in the minor leagues in the early 1950s and stretched out his pitching tenure until 1956. After his final season with Mexico City in the Class AA Mexican League, Carrasquel returned to the Venezuelan winter league and became a coach with the Caracas Lions. In 1958–59 he was appointed manager of the Pampero Juicers.

 * END
 * Carrasquel opened the door for almost 400 Venezuelans to follow his march to the majors. According to Baseball Reference 388 Venezuelans have played in the majors as of this week.

Jesús Moreno (Chuy) El 19 de Octubre de 1989 el lanzador veracruzano Jesús "Chuy" Moreno lanzó la segunda joya de pitcheo en el Tomás Oroz Gaytán de Ciudad Obregón, Sonora cuando los Cañeros de Los Mochis se impuso ante los Yaquis por la mínima diferencia de 1 carrera por cero. Tras haber lanzado previamente Chuy Moreno un juego con 5 entradas perfectas, mi hermano Pedro Pérez tuvo el tino de grabar justo lo posible en una cinta de 60 minutos y es esa la grabación que comparto hoy con los fanáticos del beisbol de la LMP.

Bob Mitchell (baseball) One of about 70 remaining ball players of The Negro American League: Bob "Peach-Head" Mitchell,Sr. a right handed pitcher for the Kansas City Monarchs - 1954 -'57. He was a teammate of the legendary Leroy "Satchel" Paige during the 1955 season - a product of John "Buck" O'Neil. Mitchell who now serves as the National Coordinator of the Communication Network of Negro League Players was instrumental in acquiring pensions for many players of the 1948 supplemental plan from 2004 to the present. He was inducted into the major league during The Special Negro League Draft held on June 5, 2008 as an honorary member of the Arizona Diamondbacks. If you are a collector, this item will add historically to your collection. https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/negro-league-legend-bob-mitchell-kc-93534702 __________________________________
 * Growing up in West Palm Beach, Mitchell became infatuated with Negro League baseball while watching the West Palm Beach Yankees often through knotholes in the grandstand or earning a close-up look by selling peanuts. When there was no game, he swatted tennis balls with broom handles or honed his fastball tossing rocks at targets on train tracks.
 * Mientras crecía en West Palm Beach, Mitchell se enloqueció con el béisbol de la Liga Negra mientras observaba a los Yankees de West Palm Beach a menudo en la tribuna o ganándose una mirada de cerca vendiendo cacahuetes. Cuando no había juego, aplastaba pelotas de tenis con asas de escoba o afilaba su bola rápida lanzando piedras a los objetivos en las vías del tren.

In 1951, Mitchell made his bid for the Florida Negro League, winning a spot with a West Palm Beach team. The following year, he joined the Florida Cubans, playing two seasons, including a fateful showdown with the Kansas City Monarchs and a young kid named Ernie Banks. https://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/os-darryl-owens-negro-leagues-031310-20100312-column.html

Theodore Toles Jr. (December 4, 1925 – April 4, 2016) was an African American pitcher and outfielder who played in Negro League Baseball and the Minor Leagues. Listed at 6' 0" [1.83 m], 170 lb [77 kg], he was a switch hitter and threw left handed.

'Ted', as he was dubbed, was born and raised in Braceville, Ohio. He was a graduate of Braceville High School, where he earned the title of valedictorian.

Career
Toles began his professional baseball career with the Pittsburgh Crawfords in 1946, playing for them one year before joining the Newark Eagles, Jacksonville Eagles and Cleveland Buckeyes between 1947 and 1949. His most productive season came in 1946, when he posted a 18-7 pitching record while batting .350 as a part-time outfielder. Later that season, he earned an invitation to tour with the Jackie Robinson All-Stars team, where he played on the West-Coast portion of the trip.

In 1950, Toles joined the Eston Ramblers of the Western Canadian Baseball League. Afterwards, he played on the Minor League affiliates of the Cleveland Indians, New York Yankees and Philadelphia Athletics from 1951 through 1953, with stints with the New Castle Indians (1951), Magic Valley Cowboys (1952), Trois-Rivières Yankees and St. Hyacinthe A's (1953).

After baseball
After his baseball days, Toles worked for Republic Steel/LTV Steel in Youngstown, Ohio for over 30 plus years before he retired. He then traveled around the country talking to young players about his experiences and how baseball shaped his life. During this time, he fostered reunions with old teammates and met new friends, obtaining the long overdue recognition he deserved.

Honors and recognitions
Toles received many citations and awards including, Ebony Sports Museum Lifeline All Sport Hall of Fame in Youngstown, OH (2001), Trumbull County African American Achievers Association in Warren, OH) (2007), Lifetime Achievement Award, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in Lorain, OH (2008), his very own baseball card through the Topps Allen & Ginter Series (2007), a Harland Sports figurine (2008) and a Mahoning Valley Scrappers bobblehead (2009), among others.

In July of 2014, Ted was invited to Miller Park as part of an annual Negro League Tribute Night, where he threw out the ceremonial first pitch in a Milwaukee Brewers home game. He then visited New Castle, Pennsylvania in February 2015, more than 60 years after his one-year stint playing with the Class C New Castle Indians. During his visit to New Castle, Toles promoted his book, Living on Borrowed Time: The Life and Times of Negro League Player Ted Toles Jr., which he co-wrote in 2014 with Michael T. Swank. In between, he spoke of his memories of July 21, 1951, when the Indians hosted the Ted Toles Night.

Even though Toles largely missed the golden years of Negro League Baseball, he had the chance to play side by side with eventual Hall of Famers Jackie Robinson, Larry Doby and Satchel Paige in groups of Negro League stars that faced different MLB All-Star teams during the offseason, being able to take part in one of the most significant society changes made in the 20th century, the integration of organized baseball.

Toles died in 2016 in Warren, Ohio, at the age of 90.
