Napoleón A. "Nap" Reyes. Third baseman/first baseman with the New York Giants in 1943-45 and 1950. 264 hits and 13 home runs in 4 MLB seasons.
Reyes is also a member of the Cuban Baseball Hall of Fame and the Caribbean Baseball Hall of Fame.
In 1946, he was among the players seduced by Jorge Pasquel to jump to the Mexican League. For that, he was blacklisted by MLB. He would eventually return to the New York Giants in 1950, but would only get a single plate appearance.
