Julio Bécquer Villegas (born December 20, 1931, in Havana, Cuba) is a retired professional baseball player, a first baseman who played in 488 games over seven seasons (1955; 1957–61; 1963) for the Washington Senators, Los Angeles Angels and Minnesota Twins of Major League Baseball. Bécquer batted and threw left-handed; he stood {{convert|5|ft|11|in}} tall and weighed {{convert|178|lb}} during his active career.

Bécquer's pro career began in the Washington organization in 1952 and he made his MLB debut in September {{baseball year|1955}}, getting into ten games, with one start as a first baseman, and collecting three hits in 14 at bats. He spent 1956 with the Triple-A Louisville Colonels, where he belted 15 home runs but posted only a .235 batting average. Bécquer then spent four full seasons with the Senators. Although he appeared in 100 or more games over three seasons ({{baseball year|1957}}; {{baseball year|1959}}–60) only in 1960 was he Washington's regular first baseman. That season, the last of the "original" Senators' 60 years in Washington, he set personal bests in games played (110), hits (75) and runs batted in (35). At the expansion draft that followed in December, he was left unprotected and was taken as the 49th player selected by the new Los Angeles Angels franchise.

For the {{baseball year|1961}} Angels, Bécquer appeared in nine games as a defensive replacement and pinch hitter and went hitless in eight at bats. On May 10, with MLB teams cutting their rosters from 28 to 25 men, he was acquired by the Philadelphia Phillies' Buffalo Bisons Triple-A affiliate. Bécquer never appeared for the Phils at the Major League level; instead, on June 2 he was sold to his original MLB team, renamed the Minnesota Twins, where he appeared in 57 games, 18 at first base, and batted .238 with five home runs, a career high. On July 4, 1961, he hit a pinch hit, walk-off grand slam home run off Warren Hacker of the Chicago White Sox on a 1–1 count with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning^[1]—an "honorable mention" for an ultimate grand slam despite happening with the home team down by only two.

Bécquer spent all of 1962, and all but one game in {{baseball year|1963}}, in minor league baseball. In his last big-league appearance, his only one in 1963, he appeared as a pinch runner for catcher Earl Battey September 18 and scored his final MLB run.^[2] Altogether, Bécquer notched 238 hits, including 37 doubles, 16 triples, 12 homers and 114 RBI, batting .244 lifetime.

He retired from the game after the 1964 minor-league season and still lives in Minneapolis.
