José Oliva (March 3, 1971 – December 22, 1997), was a professional baseball player who played in the Major Leagues primarily as a 3rd baseman from 1994 to 1995. Oliva had three daughters, Laura Oliva, Tiana Oliva, and Yeika Oliva. On December 22, 1997, Oliva died from multiple injuries when his car overturned along the San Cristóbal highway in the Dominican Republic.
