Elected to the Cuban Baseball Hall of Fame in 1954, Palmero pitched for Habana, Red Sox, Almendares, Marianao, Havana Reds and Cuba from 1913-29.
According to Who's Who in Cuban Baseball, 1878-1961, Palmero (shown in this 1926-27 Aguilitas card) pitched a no-hitter on Feb. 17, 1914.
According to Cuban Baseball: A Statistical History, 1878-1961, the gem -- Palmero did allow an unearned run on two walks, a throwing error and a wild pitch -- came against Fe and was the first no-hitting in Cuban League play since Eugenio de Rosas' in 1889.
