Description
Pedro Ramos Guerra is a retired Major League pitcher with a 15-year career from 1955 to 1967, and again from 1969 to 1970. He played for the Washington Senators, Minnesota Twins, Cleveland Indians, New York Yankees and the expansion Senators, all of the American League, and the Philadelphia Phillies, Pittsburgh Pirates and Cincinnati Reds, all of the National League. He was elected to the American League All-Star team in 1959. He also led the league in losses four times in 1958 with 18, 1959 with 19, 1960 with 18 and in 1961 with 20. On April 11, 1961, Ramas became the first Twins pitcher to earn a victory after defeating the New York Yankees.
A starter most of his career, Pete Ramos became an unexpected sensation in September 1964 after being traded from the Indians to the Yankees for $75,000 and two players to be named later. In 13 appearances for the Yankees, all in relief, Ramos saved eight games and posted a 1.25 earned-run average as the Yankees barely held off the Chicago White Sox and Baltimore Orioles down the pennant stretch. In 21 innings, Ramos struck out 21 batters and, amazingly, walked none.
