We remember Rafael “Felo” Ramirez, 1923-2017
In the 1980’s, I picked up Felo Ramirez on the radio in Mexico City broadcasting major league baseball games to Latin America.
Born in Bayamo, Cuba on June 22, 1923, it didn’t take long for Ramirez to fall in love with baseball. He played second base on a local team during his teens and dreamed of becoming a professional but said he wasn’t good enough.One day during a game, he spontaneously began calling plays using a friend’s amplifier and microphone. Ramirez then began his professional radio career at Radio Salas in Havana in 1945 before moving on to call games for teams in Puerto Rico and Venezuela including Cagua Natives, Santurce Crabs, San Juan Senators and Magallanes.He also called many boxing fights including those of Muhammad Ali.In addition to being a play-by-play man, Ramirez shared the microphone with fellow Hall of Fame broadcaster Eloy “Buck” Canel on the “Gillette Cavalcade of Sports,” a show which aired on more than 200 Spanish radio stations all over Latin America.
