Edmundo "Sandy" Amorós
(January 30, 1930 - June 27, 1992) was a Cuban left fielder in Major League Baseball for the Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers and Detroit Tigers. Amorós was born in Havana. He both batted and threw lefthanded.

Amorós had a brief and unremarkable career in the major leagues except for one, defining moment with the Brooklyn Dodgers. It was the seventh inning of Game 7 of the 1955 World Series. The Dodgers had never won a World Series in their history and were now trying to hold a 2-0 lead against their perennial rivals, the New York Yankees. Amorós came in that inning as a defensive replacement. The first two batters in the seventh inning reached base and Yogi Berra came to the plate. Berra hit a shot into the left field corner that looked to be a sure double, as the Brooklyn outfield had just shifted to the right. Amorós came out of nowhere to catch the ball and then threw to second to complete the double play. The Yankees rally was crushed and the Dodgers won the series two innings later. After baseball, Amorós became a prosperous rancher in Cuba, but the coming of Fidel Castro forced him to flee to Miami, Florida, where he lived in poverty until his death.
