Baldomero "Mel" Almada Quirós (February 7, 1913 – August 13, 1988) was a Mexican center fielder in Major League Baseball who played from 1933 through 1939 for the Boston Red Sox (1933–1937), Washington Senators (1937–1938), St. Louis Browns (1938–1939) and Brooklyn Dodgers (1939).
A native of Huatabampo, Sonora, Mexico, Almada made history by becoming the first Mexican baseball player to play in the major leagues.
Raised and educated in California, Almada attended Los Angeles High School and was a teammate of another future major leaguer, Bud Bates, on that team.
In the 1937 midseason, Almada was traded by Boston along with the brothers Rick and Wes Ferrell to the Washington Senators in exchange for Ben Chapman and Bobo Newsom.
On July 25, during the first game of a doubleheader against the St. Louis Browns, Almada scored five runs to tie a Major League record.
