Here is another image of wiry Venezuelan Julian Ladera who pitched in the Browns and Reds systems before moving on to the Mexican League. According to Baseball Reference his career spanned from 1952- 61 though it appears Ladera continued to hurl for several years in his native country. Here is Ladera on the cover of HIT magazine circa 1960 when he played for the Red Eagles of Veracruz. I love these HIT magazine covers as the players are presented so colorfully .
