Manuel García Carranza (December 28, 1905 – April 13, 1995), nicknamed "Cocaína", was a Cuban professional baseball pitcher and outfielder in the American Negro leagues in the 1920s and 1930s.
A native of Manacas, Cuba, García made his Negro leagues debut in 1927 for the Cuban Stars (West). He earned his unusual nickname as a result of batters who "seemed drugged by his pitches and unable to concentrate or focus on the baseball."[1] Following his Negro leagues career, he went on to play for many more years in the Mexican League and the Venezuelan League.[citation needed] García died in Caraballeda, Venezuela in 1995 at age 89.
