Adolfo Domingo De Guzmán Luque (August 4, 1890 – July 3, 1957)[1] was a Cuban starting pitcher in Major League Baseball (MLB) from 1914 to 1935.

[3] Along with his contemporary Miguel Ángel González, he is considered one of the best Cuban baseball managers of all time.

Luque made his professional debut in Cuba for the Habana baseball club against a Major League opponent, the Philadelphia Phillies, in an exhibition series in the fall of 1911.

The next winter, 1917, he tied for the league lead in wins and also led in hitting with a .355 average.

Many of them, including Luque, also played Negro league baseball with integrated teams from Cuba.

Just then the heckler spotted the rotund Robinson and yelled, "Hey, fat belly!"

Luque also served as a coach at the major league level for seven seasons (1936–1937; 1941–1945) with the New York Giants, working under managers Bill Terry and Mel Ott.

As a coach, Luque was a member of the Giants' 1936 and 1937 National League champion teams.

[6][12] Luque was the only manager to head each of the “big four” teams in the Cuban League; though the bulk of his career was spent with Almendares, he also managed Habana for three seasons (1924, 1955, 1956) and spent one season with Cienfuegos (which he led to a title in 1946) and Marianao.

In 1922/23 he moved to Habana (where Miguel Angel González was manager) and again led the league in wins with an 11–9 record.

Later in the decade, Luque's Major League team, the Cincinnati Reds, did not allow him to play winter baseball in Cuba.
