Francisco Alcaraz (umpire)

Francisco Alcaraz (26 October 1920 – 1 May 1996) was a Mexican League baseball player and umpire.

Returning to the amateur ranks, Alcaraz became a star in Mexico's leagues, winning awards.

He went 3-0 for Mexico in the 1944 Amateur World Series to help them win a silver medal, better than a Cuban team with five future major leaguers in the rotation.

Overall, Alcaraz hit .252/~.347/.280 in 507 AB in the Mexican League (including his lower stats from his pitching days) and had a record of 20-22, 4.82 in 87 games.
