José Acosta (March 4, 1891 – November 16, 1977) was a starting pitcher in Major League Baseball who played three seasons for the Chicago White Sox and Washington Senators. Before joining the white minor leagues he played the 1915 season in "Negro baseball" as a member of the integrated Long Branch Cubans (Riley, 26).
Acosta played winter baseball in the Cuban League from 1912 to 1930. He led the league in winning percentage five times: in 1914/15, 1915/16, /1917, 1918/19, and 1924/25. He also led the league in wins in 1918/19 and 1920/21. His best season was in 1918/19 when he had a 16–10 record. He was elected to the Cuban Baseball Hall of Fame in 1958.[1]
