Pelayo Chacón Cortina (September 22, 1888 – March 11, 1971) was a Cuban professional baseball shortstop and manager in the Cuban League and Negro leagues. He spent most of his American playing career with the Cuban Stars (East), which he also managed from 1923 to 1927.
Nicknamed "Cortina" or "The Curtain", he played from 1908 to 1931 with several clubs in the Cuban League, including Almendares, Azul, Club Fé, and Habana; he managed Cienfuegos to a championship in 1930. In the Negro leagues, he played for both iterations of the Cuban Stars: the Western Stars, an independent team, from 1910 to 1916; and the Eastern Stars, which were a major league side (associated with the Eastern Colored League) from 1923 to 1929.[2]
Chacón was elected to the Cuban Baseball Hall of Fame in 1949. In a 1952 player-voted poll by the Pittsburgh Courier, he was voted the fifth best all-time shortstop of the Negro leagues.[4]
