Edward Miguel \"Mike\" García (November 17, 1923 - January 13th, 1986) was a right-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball of Mexico-Native American descent who was one of the Cleveland Indians' "The Big Four" pitching staff in the 1950s. Joining forces along with Baseball Hall of Famers Bob Feller, Bob Lemon and Early Wynn, Garcia guided the Tribe to the 1954 World Series after the team's historic 111-43 season in 1954 in sports. He was born in San Gabriel, California. A hard-throwing right-handed pitcher, nicknamed ''The Big Bear'' for his 6'1, 200 lb (91 kg) frame, Garcia was signed by the Indians as an amateur free agent in 1942. After spending three years in the military, he posted a 14-5 Win (baseball statistics), with 94 strikeouts and a 2.36 Earned run average in his rookie year (1949), throwing five shutouts. He won 20 games in 1951 in sports and again the next year. His 22-11, 143, 2.37 record in 1952 in sports included six shutouts and four Save (baseball statistics)s in 292 innings, starting 36 games and completing 19 of them. He went 18-9, 134, 3.25 in 1953 in sports, pitching 29 complete games, and 19-8, 129, 2.64 in 1954. Overall, in fourteen seasons played for the Cleveland Indians (1948 in sports-1959 in sports), Chicago White Sox (1960 in sports) and Texas Rangers (1961 in sports), Garcia posted a career record of 142-97, with 1117 strikeouts, a 3.27 ERA, 428 games, 281 games started, 111 games finished, 27 shutouts, 23 saves, 2174 innings pitched, a 1.31 Walks plus hits per inning pitched ratio and a .319 on base percentage against. Garcia is one of many players - such as Bruce Sutter, Rich Gossage, Dave Concepcion, and Jim Rice - who many feel should be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. However, his normal window of eligibility has closed, and his only chance to be elected now is through the Veterans Committee. Garcia died in Fairview Park, Ohio [http://www.fairviewpark.org/] at the age of 62. ==Achievements== * AL best ERA (2.36) in 1949 * AL lead in games started (36) and shutouts (6) in 1952 * AL best ERA (2.64) and tied for the shutout lead (5) in 1954 * Three-time Major League Baseball All-Star Game (1952-54) * He went 142-96 with 21 saves for Cleveland ==Quotations== *"From the beginning Mike was a sneaky quick pitcher. For a big guy he was certainly mobile. " - ''Hall of Fame Bob Feller'' *"...because of the fact that he was in the pitching rotation along with three pitchers who did make the Hall of Fame, Garcia would have been elected to the 'Hall of Fame'. His outstanding lifetime record should serve to get consideration in future 'Hall of Fame' balloting.

Hello, my name is Mike Garcia. I changed this account to my real name instead of my old account, User:Michael. I am 21-years old and was born on June 21, 1983 and live in Westchester, California (part of Los Angeles, California) right now. For contact my e-mail is: Mike_garcia222003@yahoo.com == About Me == I was born in Los Angeles, California in Westchester, California on June 21, 1983 as Michael David Garcia (my full name) and I have a brother named Joseph (better known as Joe or Joey, born in 1985).

I discovered this website in fall 2002 and registered in March 2003.
