Timeline

1922

Luis Zuloaga (December 31, 1922 – May 23, 2013) was a Venezuelan professional baseball pitcher.

Born in Valencia, Carabobo, Zuloaga was a left-handed Curveball specialist.

1942

Previously, Zuloaga pitched for the Cervecería Caracas of the First Division from 1942 through 1945, then moved with the team when it relocated to the new circuit in 1946.

1944

In addition, Zuloaga represented the Venezuela national team in the Baseball World Cup in 1944 and 1945, leading his team to win Gold medal at both championships.

In 1944 he led all pitchers with a 3–0 record and a 0.94 earned run average, and went 4–0 in 1945 to set a tournament all-time record for the most wins, also setting an all-time mark for most consecutive win decisions with his 7–0 undefeated streak at the event.

1946

He started to be known as El Mono when he entered the Venezuelan Professional Baseball League in its inaugural season of 1946.

It was a moniker that he proudly used throughout his life.

Zuloaga started slowly with Cervecería in his two first seasons, going 0-2 with a 4.37 ERA (1946) and 5-2, 1.91 (1946–1947).

1947

His most productive season came in 1947–1948, when he posted a 10-4 record and a 2.51 ERA in 118 innings of work, leading the league in starts (16) while tying with Vargas' Don Newcombe for the most wins and shutouts (3), and ending third in ERA.

On the day after Christmas, Zuloaga hurled the first important single game in Venezuelan league history, a one-hit 5–0 masterpiece for Cervecería against Max Surkont and the Patriotas de Venezuela club, during which he permitted a leadoff single, struck out 10, walked two, and did not allowed a runner to reach second base.

After that he was plagued by an assortment of shoulder and elbow injuries and never recovered his old form.

1949

As the league champions, Cervecería represented Venezuela in the inaugural Caribbean Series played in Cuba in 1949.

In Game 5, Zuloaga won a complete-game pitching duel against Puerto Rico's Alonzo Perry and the Indios de Mayagüez by a score of 5–3.

1952

In 1952 he blanked Panama's Carta Vieja Yankees in one inning of work.

1953

Then, in 1953 he hurled six innings of shutout ball against Puerto Rico's Cangrejeros de Santurce (two) and Cuba's Leones de la Habana (four).

In four series appearances, Zuloaga went 1–0 with 11 strikeouts and a 1.69 ERA in 16 innings of work.

Following his playing retirement, Zuloaga joined forces with fellow Venezuelan shortstop Chico Carrasquel and opened Deportes Carrasquel Zuloaga, which became one of the most successful sporting goods retail store in Venezuela.

Besides baseball, Zuloaga participated in numerous activities including soccer, volleyball, softball, track and field, basketball, golf and was a member of various multi-cultural clubs and mission groups.

Previously, he went 7-3 with a 3.35 ERA in 21 pitching appearances for Cervecería while playing in First Division.
