Player Biography
Martin Dihigo Llanos was perhaps the most versatile player in baseball history. Known as “El Maestro,” Dihigo spent 12 seasons in the Negro leagues. He also starred in leagues in Cuba, Mexico, Puerto Rico and Venezuela. Johnny Mize said of the Cuban-born star: “He was the only guy I ever saw who could play all nine positions, run, manage and switch-hit.” In the 1938 Mexican League, Dihigo went 18-2, led the league with a 0.90 ERA and won the batting crown with a .387 mark. He totaled more than 260 wins while smashing his way to three Negro leagues home run crowns.
