Gerónimo Emiliano Berroa (born March 18, 1965 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic) is a former Major League Baseball player for nine teams from 1989-2000.

Berroa was a Minor League Baseball player who was expected to be a quality hitter in the major league, but he never hit more than 36 home runs in a single season.
