Career
editQuintero made his Cuban League debut in 1887, playing for Habana. He had two hits in six at bats over two games.[2]
He began playing with Progreso in 1888, finishing the year with a .145 batting average in 15 games.[3] In 1889, he returned to Habana, spending the next two seasons with the club. In the winter of 1890–1891, Quintero debuted with Almendares, where he batted .185.[4] He then returned for a third stint with Habana in 1892, where he hit .256 in the spring season of 1892 and .198 in the winter of 1892–1893.[5] He would continue to play for Habana in 1893 and 1894, before the 1895 and 1896 seasons were canceled due to the Cuban War of Independence.[6]
Quintero would remain with Habana until the 1900 season, when he returned to Almendares until the winter of 1904–1905, where he joined Club Fé for his final league season.[7]
Outside of the Cuban League, Quintero played for the independent All Cubans in 1899 and for the Cubano club in the 1900-1901 Cuban Leagues vs. Major Leagues series.[8]
