Elected to the Cuban Baseball Hall of Fame in 1997, Pages played 15 seasons in the Cuban League between 1935-52, including 13 seasons with Cienfuegos.
According to Who's Who in Cuban Baseball, 1878-1961, Pages was named the league MVP for the 1944-45 season after batting .309 -- this despite the Elefantes finishing third among four teams, eight games behind league champion Almendares.
Pages (shown in the 1949-40 Alerta premium) never reached the majors, playing in 1951 for Sherbrooke of the Class C Provincial League in Quebec, Canada.
In the Negro leagues, Pages played for the New York Cubans in 1939 and '47.
