Today is the 91st birthday of one of the best Cuban Pitchers in the 1950s in the Cuban Professional League, Camilo Pascual. He also played several years in the Major Leagues. I show some Cuban cards from the Chiclet Peloteros and Caramelo Stadium collections, along with to Pedro Ramos

Armando Marsans and Rafael Almeida were the first Cubans to play in the Major Leagues in the 20th century, they were signed by Cincinnati in 1911. I show Almeida's 1911 contract and photos of them in the United States and in Cuba at the Almendares Park Stadium.

I missed this when you posted it but wow - that's a really cool piece. Just looked up Lawrence Kunihisa - he played ss and 3b for the Asahis of the Hawaii League, and his nickname was Peanuts.

Picked up this lot a few weeks back at the East Coast National. I still haven't had a chance to research Rene Monteagudo, but I know he eventually played for the Phillies and his son was a ballplayer. Just love the inscribed photo of him in batting stance. Seller said circa 1940. The autos are him, Andres Felitas, and Vincente Lopez.

René Monteagudo Miranda was born on March 12, 1916 in La Habana and died on Sepetember 14, 1973 in Hialeah, Florida. He pitched and played the Outfield. He started his baseball career with the Central Algodones semi-pro team. He then played for the 1935-36 Santa Clara squad in the Cuban Winter League. He would play 13 seasons in the Cuban leagues with his last being the 1949-50 with Almendares. He also played with the Havana Cubans of the Florida Int'l League. We was one of the first players signed by Washington Senators scout Joe Cambria. He first appeared in the United States with 1938 Trenton Senators and was quickly promoted to the Washington Senators. He would again appear with the Senators in 1940 and 1944. In 1945 he was traded to the Phillies. He played 9 seasons in the Minor Leagues and 4 seasons in the Mexican League. His son Aurelio pitched 7 years in the Majors and had a long career in the Minors, Mexican and Venezuelan Leagues. The photo you have was used on Rene's 1947 Almanaque Deportivo baseball card.

Wow. Many thanks. Love learning about players like him.

His son was a knuckleball pitcher. Died tragically in a car accident in Mexico in his 30s.
