Tony Freitas

Antonio Freitas Jr. (May 5, 1908 – March 14, 1994) was an American pitcher who played in Major League Baseball from 1932 to 1936. Born in Mill Valley, California, he batted right-handed and threw left-handed. Freitas pitched for the Philadelphia Athletics (1932–1933) and the Cincinnati Reds (1934–1936). On July 1, 1934 he matched Dizzy Dean over 17 innings before the Cardinals won in the 18th. He spent most of his career in the minor leagues, primarily with the Sacramento Solons of the Pacific Coast League, where he won 342 games, the most by a left-handed pitcher in minor-league history. He was elected to the Pacific Coast League Hall of Fame in 2003. His major-league career fell within the pre-integration era.
