León Rojas

León Plutarco de Rojas y Cárdenas was a Cuban baseball manager best known for managing the Cuba national baseball team, taking the reins at the 1935 Central American and Caribbean Games in El Salvador and again at the 1938 Games in Panama. He returned to lead Cuba at the 1939, 1942, and 1943 Amateur World Series. Rojas led Cuba to the championship in all five tournaments.
Originally from Placetas, Villa Clara, Rojas began his coaching career with Colegio de los Maristas in Cuba's collegiate league, where he managed Juan Ealo and Cocoliso Torres. He was managing Atlético de Cuba in the Cuban Amateur League in the 1930s when he was tapped to lead the Cuban national team. Rojas later managed the Artemisa and Plantas Electricas clubs. At one point, he was offered to manage Santa Clara in the professional Cuban Winter League, but declined, citing his poor English that would be necessary to manage foreign players.
