Cocoliso Torres
Recia foto, Rolando. Wow.
Jorge (Cocoliso) Torres debuted professionally in Cuba with the Habana team on the inaugural game of the 1940-41 season on October 26, 1940. He was a highly regarded recruit of Mike Gonzalez's. Cocoliso had just helped Cuba gain its first championship in the second amateur world series in 1939. As you will see in the articles included, Cocoliso is pictured while he trained with the Lions prior to the season. The articles also provide a recap of the inaugural game as well as the box scores. You will note Habana has some big names, including Tiant Sr., Estalella and Dihigo. Their foe that day, Almendares, had a fading Alejandro Oms struggling through his last full season, as well as Lazaro Salazar. Cocoliso was traded to the Santa Clara team later that season for Walter Calhoun, an American pitcher.
