Biography

Oscar José Zamora Sosa is a former professional baseball player. A right-handed pitcher, he played all or part of four seasons in Major League Baseball, playing for the Chicago Cubs during 1974–76, 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
When the ball hits the wall
And the runners all score
That's Zamora

After his Major League career was over, Zamora then pitched for the Miami Amigos of the Inter-American League in 1979. Zamora was running a shoe business at the time, so he only attended games when he was pitching.
