Pedro Miguel Caratini y González (September 29, 1893 – February 20, 1978) was a Puerto Rican baseball player and accountant. Born in Coamo, he was active from ca. 1900 to 1930, both as a player, manager, and instructor. He came to the Dominican Republic during the United States Marine Corps occupation of the island, and eventually became manager of Tigres del Licey.[3] He was elected to the Hall of Fame in both Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic.[4]
Caratini founded the first institute for accountants (Spanish: Peritos Contadores) in the Dominican Republic, his adoptive land, there he raised his family with his wife Maria Luisa Geraldino of Ponce, Puerto Rico; they had three daughters, Josefa Maria (died in 1999), Gloria Ines (died in 2002) and Carmen Luisa (died in 2012), 12 grandchildren, 33 great-grandchildren and so far 7 great-great-grandchildren. He was honored by Dominican president Joaquin Balaguer for his institute for accountants in 1975.
