Tears on My Pillow
Nobody has brought this guy up.
Filomeno C. "Phil" Ortega. Pitcher for the Washington Senators in 1965-1968. 46 wins and 2 saves in 10 MLB seasons. Was of Yaqui Indian descent; his nickname in the clubhouse was "Tears on my Pillow". Debuted with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1960. His best season was 1967 for the Washington Senators as he posted a 10-10 record with a 3.03 ERA in 219.2 innings pitched. He finished up with the California Angels in 1969. "There can't be more than six hundred Indian baseball fans in Southern California, but there are (far more) Mexicans. . . I could have scalped (Phil Ortega) the other day when he told Vin Scully on the pre-game show that he is an Indian." - Buzzie Bavasi, as quoted in the book Viva Baseball https://www.net54baseball.com/attach...1&d=1675253613 https://www.net54baseball.com/attach...1&d=1675253619
