Bobby Marcano
I have a reader who wants to know more about Bobby Marcano, including whether he ever played in Venezuela's league and any details about the auto crash which took his life. I can easily send her his stats from NPB, but I cannot answer those questions. Any help is appreciated.

Carlos Bauer's book gives his date of death as November 13, 1990. Is that the date of the accident?

A googol search of the name Bobby Marcano yielded this article [Japan Times] which says Marcano died of cancer.

There are a couple of sites in Japanese which mention him -- but I can't help with what they might say.

I have Marcano basic stats in the minors in the U.S. from 1969-1974, but it doesn't list winter ball.
About

This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.

It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
