	WasWatching.com: Clemens & Contreras News
		Clemens is 15 days older than Luque was when he got the win in the finale of the 1933 Series against Washington.
		Clemens and Luque share Aug. 4 as their birthday, but Luque won on Oct. 7 while Clemens will be pitching on Oct. 22.
		In another coincidence, Luque was born in Havana, also the birthplace of Contreras, who played with Clemens on the 2003 Yankees.

	Dolf Luque and Camilo Pascual: Two Cuban Curveballers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Dolf Luque and Camilo Pascual were both right-handed pitchers born in Havana, Cuba; albeit a generation apart.
		Luque was a "snarling, vulgar, cursing, aggressive pug," rumored to have carried a gun under his uniform while managing in Cuba.
		Luque's nicknames included "Havana Perfecto" (after the cigar), "The Pride of Havana," and, in Cuba, "Papa Montero." Pascual was dubbed with the gentler moniker, "Little Potato" (his older brother, Carlos, also a Cuban Hall of Fame pitcher who hurled briefly for the Senators, was "Big Potato").

	Dolf Luque - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Adolfo Luque (August 4, 1890 - July 3, 1957) was a Major League Baseball pitcher who was originally from Cuba.
		As a white-skinned Cuban, he was one of the only Latinos to make it in Major League Baseball before Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier.
		Luque was inducted into the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame in 1967.

	1923 NL CY YOUNG AWARD
		Their best pitcher was Dolf Luque, who was among the league leaders in almost everything.
		Luque was the first Latin star to play in the major leagues; apparently, his skin was light enough that his presence was not considered a threat to baseball's colour barrier.
		Not only was Luque the original Latin star, but he also had the original Latin temper, reportedly punching out opposing players when he was angry.

	Lee & Low Books - ¡BÉISBOL!
		Adolfo "Dolf" Luque was the first Latin American superstar in the major leagues.
		But because Luque was light skinned, he was able to enjoy a 20-year career in the U.S. major leagues.
		Newspaper writers in the United States said Luque had a bad temper because once he got angry and accidentally hit the famous Casey Stengel with a baseball bat.

	BTF's Hall of Merit Discussion :: Burleigh Grimes and Dolf Luque
		In Luque's case, his ML record seems to provide a clear pitcher of "what kind of player he was" as well as of his value in a ML environment.
		Luque's performance across the 1920s indicates that he was a substantially better pitcher then (or played on better teams) than he did in the mid-teens.
		Luque's early ML performance shows that he was still improving as a pitcher, while his performance across the 1920s, except for his one huge season, was pretty steady.

	Before El Duque There was Luque and Before Robinson there was Estallela
		However, I believe that Luque's contribution to how US owners, fans, newscasters and players viewed Latin American players, as well as his outgoing, aggressive personality, and ability to float back and forth between professional Cuban and American baseball at all levels of organization, delivered a key ingredient for the eventual breaking of the race barrier.
		It was not the first time that the aggressive Luque had taken matters into his own hands, for earlier in his career he had also fired a ball into his own dugout and chased one of his own teammates with an ice pick.
		Adolfo Luque's overall impact upon the world of professional baseball certainly merits his inclusion in the Baseball Hall of Fame, where many lesser players of his era are included.

	Elysian Fields Quarterly - The Baseball Review
		Thus, these players do not hold the same allure for fans back in Havana or Matanzas or Cienfuegos as did Dolf Luque or Mike González in the 1920s and 1930s, Miñoso and Willie Miranda in the 1950s, or even the political defectors of the late 1990s.
		Miñoso's claim as the only true Cuban big leaguer of legitimate superstar proportion is based in large part on the fact that "The Cuban Comet" was both a first-rank U.S. big leaguer and a winter-season headliner back on his native island—at one and the same time.
		Luque fell casualty to a stereotype (the hot-blooded Latino warrior with limited command of the game's fine points) that attached to so many fiery Spanish-speaking ball-players of an earlier era.

		While Martén Dihigo and others like him were not able to play in the Major Leagues, Dolf Luque carved out a 20-year career with Cincinnati, Brooklyn, and New York.

	Where Have You Gone, Martin Dihigo?
		Foggy names, such as Martin Dihigo (the only Cuban enshrined in the Hall of Fame), Adolfo (Dolf) Luque and Camilo Pascual, come into focus as Gonzlez Echevarria traces their exploits and reputations, emphasizing how those legends mean as much to Cubans as DiMaggio and Mays do to Americans.
		Gonzlez Echevarria describes how Cuban players like Gonzlez made an impact on the major leagues (as the third-base coach for the St. Louis Cardinals in the 1946 World Series, Gonzlez waved home Enos Slaughter during his legendary ''mad dash''), and we are left to regret that the Torrientes and Dihigos were never allowed to.
		But each generation's Luques and Dihigos have been groomed as ''a form of conscription'' to bring honor to Cuba and Castro only in world amateur tournaments, in which Cuba routinely pummels teams from the United States consisting of overmatched collegians.

		And back in Cuba he generated a feverish following for the big league game and in the process carved out as well a lasting loyalty for "our beloved Reds" ("nuestros queridos rojos") among baseball-crazed Habaneros.
		Yet, for all his achievements, Luque's career was destined to be cursed by the fate that eventually became a personal calling card for nearly all early Latin ballplayers blessed with the necessary talent (and appropriate skin tone) to make their way to the baseball big time.
		Among North American fans and writers, Dolf Luque would always remain a familiar stereotypeóa hot-headed, ill-tempered, cartoon-like figure rather than a genuine baseball hero.
