Manuel García Carranza (1905 - 1995), nicknamed "Cocaína", was a Cuban professional baseball pitcher and outfielder in the American Negro leagues in the 1920s and 1930s. A native of Manacas, Cuba, García made his Negro leagues debut in 1927 for the Cuban Stars (West). He earned his unusual nickname as a result of batters who "seemed drugged by his pitches and unable to concentrate or focus on the baseball."
Richard Merkin Collection.
