Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"I liked school, but I had to stop going because I needed to work on the farm, cutting sugar cane. I think that was around the fifth grade. When I had time, I played baseball, in games that were in my hometown. I was really good and got an opportunity to pitch in a big game over in the city of Camagüey. I had to borrow a uniform and shoes, but it didn't bother me at all, and I had fourteen strikeouts that day. A couple weeks later, I was asked to sign a contract to play professionally and they gave me a $500 bonus. What a great day that was." - Bauta, Ed. Baseball Almanac Phone Interview. 6 January 2004.

Eduardo Bauta was a Major League Baseball player with the St. Louis Cardinals (1960-1963) and New York Mets (1963-1964). When Ed, his nickname, made his big league debut on July 6, 1960, he became the first player from the city of Florida — in the Camagüey Province of Cuba — to play in the majors!

The rookie card for Ed Bauta is a 1962 Topps (#344), pictured at the top of the page, of which Ed signed for us in 2004, during an interview. The following year, Topps included him on the 1963 Topps (#336), but the photo they used appears to be quite similar to the one they used a year earlier!
