About Joe Cambria
- Joseph Carl Cambria, also known as "Papa Joe," (born Carlo Cambria; July 5, 1890 – September 24, 1962) was an American professional baseball scout and executive who was a pioneer in recruiting Latin American players.
- From 1929 through 1940, he owned several Minor League Baseball teams, as well as the Negro league Baltimore Black Sox.
- He is best known, however, for his work as a scout for Major League Baseball, especially for his work in Cuba.
- From the mid-1930s until his death in 1962, he recruited hundreds of Cuban players for the Washington Senators and Minnesota Twins.
- Cambria was described as "the first of many scouts who searched Latin America for inexpensive recruits for their respective ball clubs."
