Diego Pablo Seguí González (play /sˈɡ/ say-GEE; born August 17, 1937 in Holguín, Cuba) is a Cuban former Major League Baseball pitcher. He was known for his forkball.[1]

During a 16-year baseball career, Seguí played for the Kansas City Athletics (1962–1965; 1967), Washington Senators (1966), Oakland Athletics (1968, 1970–1972), Seattle Pilots (1969), Boston Red Sox (1975–1976), and Seattle Mariners (1977). He batted and threw right-handed. His son is former Major League Baseball first baseman David Seguí. David had a very successful 15-year baseball career, playing from 1990-2004 for seven different teams, including the Mariners, from 1998-99.

Professional career

On December 7, 1973, Diego Segui was traded in a blockbuster from the Cardinals to the Red Sox, with Reggie Cleveland and Terry Hughes for John Curtis, Lynn McGlothen, and Mike Garman.

Seguí holds the unique distinction of having pitched for both of Seattle's major league baseball teams, the Pilots and the Mariners, in the first game ever played by each franchise (earning a hold for the Pilots in 1969, and absorbing the opening-day loss for the Mariners in 1977). His most productive season came in 1969, for the Pilots, when he posted a career-high in wins, with 12. In 1970 with Oakland, he won 10 games and led the American League pitchers with a 2.56 ERA.

Seguí was the starting pitcher in the Mariners' inaugural game in 1977, earning him the nickname "the Ancient Mariner." After compiling a 0-7 record with a 5.69 ERA, he retired at the end of the season. He was the only player to play for both the Seattle Pilots and the Seattle Mariners.

Diego Segui was inducted into the Hispanic Heritage Museum Hall of Fame on August 19, 2006 in San Francisco, California.
