Clemente "Sungo" Carreras González (March 25, 1914 – November 19, 1989)[1] was a Cuban professional baseball third baseman, second baseman, and left fielder in the Negro leagues from 1937 to 1941, including two major league seasons for the New York Cubans from 1940 to 1941. He also played for the Cubans in 1938 and with the Eastern Cuban Stars in 1937 and 1939.[2]
Carreras played with Alijadores de Tampico of the Mexican League (LMB), the highest level of professional baseball in Mexico, in 1943. He later skippered the LMBB's Sultanes de Monterrey from 1962 to 1964, the Ángeles de Puebla in 1976 and the Alijadores de Tampico in 1977.[3]
Carreras managed the Cuba national baseball team at the 1961 Amateur World Series, one of the first international competitions that the country participated in after the Cuban Revolution.[4] He was elected to the Cuban Exile Baseball Hall of Fame in 1998.[5][a]
