Adolfo Domingo De Guzmán Luque (August 4, 1890 – July 3, 1957)[1] was a Cuban starting pitcher in Major League Baseball (MLB) from 1914 to 1935. Luque was enshrined in the Cuban Baseball Hall of Fame in 1957 and the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame in 1967, as well as in the Mexican Baseball Hall of Fame in 1985. Luque was not only the first Latino pitcher in MLB, but also the first to earn a World Series win, and the first to lead the majors in wins and shutouts.[2]
A native of Havana, Luque played winter baseball in the Cuban League from 1912 to 1945 and was also a long-time manager in the league.[3] Additionally, he managed in Mexico in all or parts of eight seasons spanning 1946–1956.[4]
