Marrero was born in my father's hometown. He pitched in the majors in the 1950's with the Washington Senators.
He was 39-40 with a 3.67 ERA & selected to the 1951 AL All Star team. Without question, his statistics have to be seen in the context that the Senators were a very bad team.
In other words, wonder how many games Marrero would have won with a better team?
My late father told me many stories of Marrero pitching in the old Cuban winter league.
