#218 - The Cuban Cowboy - The Bombasticness of Pedro "Pistola Pete" Ramos

This week, we explore the life of a man who went from the tobacco fields of Cuba, to Yankee Stadium, and nearly pitching a no hitter. But after a lengthy, yet mediocre baseball career, he embarked on several enterprises, such as making cigars, and being involved in the drug trade. Known for dressing up in elaborate cowboy outfits, and always carrying his trademark pistols, he was quite the character... Even in prison. This story spans from Mickey Mantle to the Miami cocaine trade of the 1980's! It's Pedro "Pistola Pete" Ramos!!

 

Sell cigarettes after school to support your family, become obsessed with cowboy outfits, and always carry at least two guns, especially when you're holding a couple of kilos!!
