Luis Alberto González (born June 26, 1979 in Maracay, Venezuela) is a second baseman and right-handed batter who played in Major League Baseball for the Colorado Rockies between 2004 and 2006. Currently, he plays for the Yomiuri Giants of the Japan's Central League.
González made his debut in the 2004 season. On April 6, facing Randy Johnson and the Arizona Diamondbacks in the season opener for both teams, González went 2-for-5, including one home run and two RBI, and the Rockies topped Arizona, 5-2.
González became the fifth Venezuelan player to play in the JCL during the 2007 season, joining fellow countrymen Alex Cabrera, Darwin Cubillán, Geremi González and Alex Ramírez.
On May 26, 2008, González violated the anti-dopping policy in Nippon Professional Baseball, resulting in a 1-year ban.[1] The Yomiuri Giants showed an intention to place a waiver on him after the incident.
