Pedro Nelson

Pedro Nelson (1921 – June 30, 1956) was a Venezuelan professional baseball player and musician. Nelson was a member of the Venezuela national baseball team that won the 1941 Amateur World Series, and later played in the early years of the Venezuelan Professional Baseball League (LVBP). He was nicknamed El Buzo ("The Diver").

Born in La Pastora, Caracas, Nelson played as a catcher, pitcher, and outfielder in Venezuela's First Division, with the Magallanes and Venezuela clubs. He was included in the roster of the national team that won the 1941 Amateur World Series in Havana, though he was the sole player on the team to not see action in the tournament. After the establishment of the LVBP in 1946, he played four professional seasons: three with Venezuela (1946; 1947-48 and 1948–49) and one with Magallanes (1946–47). He was also memorialized, with his nickname "Buzo," in Andrés Eloy Blanco's poem "Romance del campeonato", chronicling the 1941 team.
