Thanks. I know he might not be a household name but Coimbre is a legend in Puerto Rico. They named a museum after him in Ponce. Here's a quote from Satchel Paige on what it was like to pitch to him:
Satchel Paige stated “Coimbre could not be pitched to. No one gave me more trouble than anyone I ever faced, including Josh Gibson and Ted Williams.”
