Luis Alberto González (born June 26, 1979) is a former infielder in Major League Baseball. He played for the Colorado Rockies between 2004 and 2006 and for the Yomiuri Giants of the Japan's Central League from 2007-2008.
González made his debut in the 2004 season. On April 6, facing Randy Johnson and the Arizona Diamondbacks in the season opener for both teams, González went 2-for-5, including one home run and two RBI, and the Rockies topped Arizona, 5–2.
González became the fifth Venezuelan player to play in the JCL during the 2007 season, joining fellow countrymen Alex Cabrera, Darwin Cubillán, Geremi González and Alex Ramírez.
On May 26, 2008, it was reported that González had violated the anti-doping policy in Nippon Professional Baseball, resulting in a one-year ban.[1] The Yomiuri Giants released him after the incident.
On December 31, 2008, González signed a minor-league deal with the Colorado Rockies.[2]
