Damaso Garcia - Biography
Dámaso Domingo García Sánchez (born February 7, 1957) is a former Major League Baseball player best known for his time spent with the Toronto Blue Jays in the 1980s.
Garcia batted leadoff during most of his tenure with the Blue Jays but was dropped to the ninth spot in the order at the beginning of the 1986 season. Garcia struggled in the new spot in the order. On May 14, 1986, following a loss to the Oakland Athletics, Garcia burned his uniform in the hopes of ending the slump. This move angered Blue Jays manager Jimy Williams who confronted Garcia in front of the entire team and strained Garcia's relationship with the Blue Jays. Garcia was traded along with Luis Leal to the Atlanta Braves (for Craig McMurtry) in the 1987 off-season.
A year after he retired, Garcia started to have double vision and was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. In 1991, Garcia had the tumor removed and was told that he only had six months to live. The effects of the tumor left him with limited speech and difficulty performing certain functions, such as driving a car. He recovered enough to throw out the first pitch of a Blue Jays playoff game in 1992. Garcia runs a baseball camp in the Dominican Republic for children who have hemophilia, a condition that his oldest son has.
