Pelayo Chacon, Jr. was a third baseman with the Stars of Cuba in 1930, according to seamheads.com. They can trace their finding back to a box score which indicates that Pelayo Chacon and Pelayo Chacon, Jr. played in the same game for the Stars of Cuba in 1930. The photo is from the beisbolinmortal.blogspot.com website and shows Pelayo Chacon Jr. in 1951. Pelayo Chacon Jr. was born in 1933, and is the brother of Elio Chacon, who played in the major leagues in the 1950's. It does not make sense that Pelayo Chacon Jr. would have played a game in the Negro Leagues in 1930. There is speculation that Pelayo Chacon Sr. fathered another son by a woman other than his wife who bore Pelayo Chacon Jr. and Elio Chacon, and that other son was the one known as "Chacon Jr." in the box score of the Stars of Cuba game. But this has not been nailed down, so the Negro League players are still carried in the books as Pelayo Chacon Sr. and Jr.
