One more from me:
Francisco Coimbre was from Puerto Rico and is widely considered by many to be the greatest player the island ever produced. He played most of his career in his native Puerto Rico, going three straight seasons without striking out. In 1,915 career Puerto Rican league at bats, he struck out only 29 times. He was also a two time Negro League All Star.
“Coimbre could not be pitched to. No one gave me more trouble than anyone I ever faced, including Josh Gibson and Ted Williams.” - Satchell Paige
