Robinson Cancel (born May 4, 1976 in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico) was a catcher in Major League Baseball who is currently with the Sultanes de Monterrey. He made his major league debut for the Brewers on September 3, 1999.
On June 15, 2008, Cancel pinch-hit for Pedro Martínez in the bottom of the sixth inning with the bases loaded. Cancel singled to center field, driving in two runs; this single was the game-winning hit, giving Martínez his 211th career win. It was Cancel's first hit in the majors since 1999.[1]
Cancel hit his first career home run as a member of the Mets on August 11, 2008 against Zach Duke of the Pittsburgh Pirates, coming almost nine years after Cancel's Major-League debut with the Brewers. Cancel came up huge for the Mets on September 25, 2008 as he went 2–4 with a double, a run and an R.B.I. on Ryan Church's tip toe slid into home plate.
He spent the 2009 season in Triple-A and became a free agent in October 9 when he was designated for assignment.
On May 28, 2011, Cancel was called up after Humberto Quintero was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a high right ankle sprain.[2]
