    Pedro Ramos Bio

    Twins Video

    Pedro Ramos was born April 28, 1935, in Pinar del Rio, Cuba, the same hometown as Tony Oliva. He signed with the Washington Senators and debuted – as a pinch runner – on April 11, 1955, just before his 20th birthday. His first mound action came on April 30, 1955, against the Detroit Tigers. He pitched one scoreless inning of relief in a loss.

    Ramos came to the Twins when the Senators franchise moved to Minnesota. Ramos played for the Twins in only one season – their initial season in 1961. In fact, he was the first starting pitcher ever for the Minnesota Twins on April 11, 1961. On that day he threw a complete game shutout against the defending American League Champion New York Yankees, allowing only three hits and one walk. He also had one hit and 2 RBI.

    Ramos was traded to Cleveland before the 1962 season for Vic Power and Dick Stigman.

    Ramos pitched 15 years in Major League Baseball for the Senators, Twins, Guardians, Yankees, Phillies, Pirates, and Reds before finishing his career in 1970 with the second incarnation of the Washington Senators.

    Notable Events & Trivia

    Ramos finished with a record of 117-160, an ERA of 4.08, and ERA+ of 95. He was an all-star in 1959.
