Herrera, who was born on this day (Dec. 19) -- although the exact year is in question -- was elected to the Cuban Baseball Hall of Fame in 1963.
He played for Almendares, Fe, Red Sox (yes, there was once a Cuban League team with that name), Habana and Marianao between 1913-30.
Herrera batted .300 or better during nine of his 18 winters in Cuba.
In the majors -- two seasons for the Boston Red Sox -- Herrera was known as "Mike."
