  • José Ynocencio Sosa (Santo Domingo. 28 de diciembre de 1952-8 de junio de 2013)​​ fue un lanzador dominicano que jugó en las Grandes Ligas de Béisbol entre 1975 y 1976 con los Astros de Houston. Aunque Sosa sólo bateó un cuadrangular en su carrera de Grandes Ligas, fue el primer miembro de los Astros en dar un jonrón en su primera aparición en el plato que tuvo lugar el 30 de julio de 1975 y, en ese momento, era el jugador 49 en la historia de las Grandes Ligas en hacerlo. Desde entonces, otros tres miembros de los Astros batearon jonrones en su primera aparición al bate: Dave Matranga el 27 de junio de 2003; Charlton Jimerson el 4 de septiembre de 2006; y Mark Saccomanno el 8 de septiembre de 2008.

  • José Ynocencio Sosa (December 28, 1952 – June 8, 2013) was a Dominican Republic relief pitcher in Major League Baseball who played from 1975 through 1976 for the Houston Astros. Listed at 5' 11", 158 lb., he batted and threw right-handed. Born in Santo Domingo, Sosa came from a baseball family that included his cousins Felipe Alou, Matty Alou, Jesús Alou and Moisés Alou, being also related to Mel Rojas. Sosa was signed by the Astros as an amateur free agent in 1970 and started his career in their minor league system, playing for them at three different levels before joining the big club late in the 1975 midseason. During a game against the San Diego Padres on July 30, 1975, Sosa secured his place in the record books when he belted a three-run home run off Danny Frisella at the Astrodome, to become both the first Dominican pitcher and the first Astros player ever to hit a home run in his first major league plate appearance. He also earned the save as the Astros came out with an 8–4 victory. Sosa spent most of 1976 at Triple A and rejoined the Astros for a few games during three recalls. He then returned to the minors from 1977 to 1978 and never appeared in a major league game again. In a two-season career, Sosa posted a 1–3 record with one save and a 4.60 earned run average in 34 games (two starts), allowing nine runs on 67 hits and six walks, while striking out 36 over 58+2⁄3 innings of work. He went 41–53 with a 4.25 ERA in 202 minor league games. Sosa also pitched for the Leones del Escogido of the Dominican Winter League from 1977 to 1978. He finished with a 9–13 record and a 2.96 ERA in 111 games. Following his playing retirement, he served as their bullpen coach for several seasons. (en)
