From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Oscar Estrada (February 15, 1904 - January 2, 1978) was a Major League Baseball pitcher who appeared in one game for the St. Louis Browns in 1929. The 25-year-old left-hander stood 5'8" and weighed 160 lbs.

On April 21, 1929, Estrada came in to pitch the top of the 9th inning in a home game against the Detroit Tigers at Sportsman's Park. He pitched a scoreless inning, although he allowed a hit and a walk, but the Browns lost 16-9. His lifetime ERA stands at 0.00.

Two notable teammates who would one day be members of the Baseball Hall of Fame were Rick Ferrell and Heinie Manush.

Estrada passed away in his hometown of Havana, Cuba at the age of 73.
