Oscar José Zamora Sosa is a former Major League Baseball right-handed pitcher. He played all or part of four seasons in the majors, playing for the Chicago Cubs during 1974-1976, and the Houston Astros in 1978.
In his career he had 13 wins against 14 losses, and an earned run average of 4.53. He seemed to give up a lot of hits (more than 1 hit per inning, on average), leading to Cubs fans making up this song, to the tune of Dean Martin's song hit "That's Amore":
- When the pitch is so fat
- That the ball meets the bat
- That's Zamora[1]
