Baseball player
In this Spanish name, the first or paternal surname is Cedeño (thay-deh'-nyo) and the second or maternal family name is Encarnación (en-car-nah-the-on').
César Cedeño Encarnación (born February 25, 1951) is a Dominican former professional baseball player and coach. He played in Major League Baseball as a center fielder from 1970 to 1986, most prominently as a member of the Houston Astros where he helped the franchise win its first-ever National League Western Division title and postseason berth in 1980.[1]

So popular was Cedeño that the Astrodome was called “César’s Palace.”
César (C.C.) Cedeño (pronounced seh‐DANE‐yo) was born on February 25, 1951, in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic to Diogenes and Juana (Encarnacion) Cedeño. By age 11 he was working in the same nail fact
