Camilo Pascual left Cuba in 1951 at the age of 17, and a year later, he was part of the Washington Senators farm system. Pasucal was impressive, and he made the main roster in Washington in 1954.

Although Camilo Pasucal was a five-time All-Star over his tenure with the Washington Senators/Minnesota Twins, the Cuban is a somewhat underappreciated player historically.  Dubbed “The Little Potato” (in reference to his older brother, Carlos, who was nicknamed (The Potato”) Pascual was a three-time Strikeout Champion and would win 20 Games twice.  While Pascual would not finish in the top ten in MVP voting, he did receive a smattering of votes in three different seasons.

Pascual went 145-141 for the franchise, fanning 1,885 Strikeouts.  The Twins inducted him into their franchise Hall of Fame in 2012.
