Minervino Alejandro "Minnie" Rojas Landin (November 26, 1933 – March 23, 2002) was a right-handed relief pitcher in Major League Baseball who played for the California Angels from 1966 through 1968 after many seasons pitching in Mexican semi-pro leagues, the Mexican League, and the minor leagues. He debuted as a 32 year old rookie starting pitcher for the Angels in 1966 but would only make one additional start for the remainder of his major league career. Instead, he became a valuable member of the Angels' bullpen at a time when the role of relief pitchers was evolving in the professional game. Rojas' best major league season was 1967, when he set a Angels franchise record with 27 saves and was named the American League Fireman of the Year. However, he developed lingering arm issues the following season and decided to retire after trying unsuccessfully to return to the mound at all in 1969.
