Connie Marrero
Conrado Eugenio Marrero Ramos (April 25, 1911 – April 23, 2014), nicknamed "Connie", was a Cuban professional baseball pitcher.〔Like many baseball players of his era, Marrero reported several birth dates. When asked his birthdate in an interview with Roberto González Echevarría, he first hesitated, then reported it as April 25, 1911—see González Echevarría pp. 234, 417.〕 The right-handed Marrero pitched in Major League Baseball from to for the Washington Senators. Marrero made his major league debut when he was 38 years old, and was one of the oldest players in the league throughout the duration of his time in the major leagues. He was a popular star in his native Cuba, where he had a long and successful career in amateur baseball, pitching for Cuba in several Amateur World Series competitions, and playing several excellent seasons with the professional Cuban League and the minor league Havana Cubans. His nicknames in Cuba were “El Guajiro de Laberinto” (The Peasant from Laberinto), reflecting his rural origins, “El Premier,” and “El Curvo.”〔González Echevarría, pp. 220, 234; Neyer and James, p. 294.〕
Marrero's pitches were primarily “slow stuff—curves, sliders and knucklers.”〔Al Silverman, quoted by Neyer and James, p. 293. According to Cuban baseball expert Peter C. Bjarkman, Marrero "insists that his main pitch was the slider and that he threw it exclusively at times. See (【引用サイトリンク】 All the Pitchers Who Wouldn't Fit )〕 Roberto González Echevarría provides the following description: “A bit plump, of less than average height, with short arms and small hands, Marrero looked, in uniform, like someone in a baseball costume, not a player. He looked more like a Spanish grocer or peasant than an athlete.”〔González Echevarría, pp. 220, 234.〕
At age 102, Marrero was the oldest living former Major League Baseball player at the time of his death.
