Jesús García (Mexico)

From BR Bullpen

Jesús García played for Guanajuato in Mexico [1] and was one of two members of the team to play for their first Mexican national team, at the 1926 Central American Games. He was in fact the first pitcher in Mexican team annals as he started their opener against Cuba, a 12-0 loss. In game 3, he got the start in right field and went 0 for 3 while handling one putout. Mexico won the Silver Medal. [2] 90 years later, another Jesús García, pitched for Mexico.
