Julio Machado
[edit] Biography
Born on December 1, 1965 in San Carlos del Zulia, Zulia (Venezuela), Julio Machado (Julio Segundo (Rondon) Machado) played for the New York Mets and Milwaukee Brewers over the course of his 3 year career. Machado broke into the bigs on September 7, 1989 with the New York Mets, and put up a 3.45 ERA in 88.2 innings pitched in 1991, his rookie year.
Julio Machado is a footnote in the ledger of baseball history. His last appearance in the pros was in 1991, when he was a relief pitcher for the Milwaukee Brewers. He wasn't anything special, but he was certainly good enough to pitch for another season. But Machado had other plans. Spending the 1991 off-season in his home country of Venezuela, Machado became pitcher cum murderer, killing 23-year-old Edicta Vasquez that December. He was neither suspended from baseball nor fined. On April 1, 1992, the transaction wire merely read: "Milwaukee Brewers: Placed Julio Machado, pitcher, on the restricted list." Four years later, after exhausting his appeals, Machado was sentenced to 12 year in prison.
