Leonardo Medina
Thank you, Pinson, for posting the photo of Medina. He was also known as Lazaro Medina. His main position was pitcher. That is verified by his listing in the ENCICLOPEDIA DEL BEISBOL MEXICANO, which shows his pitching stats from 1946 through 1948 in the Mexican League; in James Riley's BIOGRAPHICAL ENCYCLOPEDIA OF THE NEGRO LEAGUES, and in SABR's THE NEGRO LEAGUES BOOK, by Larry Lester and Dick Clark. I also have a note that he was a first baseman while with the 1944 Baltimore Elite Giants, but don't know where the source of that info came from.
