Sent back to the minors midway through the season, Vargas, who had pitched for the Chicago American Giants and Memphis Red Sox of the Negro American League in 1948, performed for 11 teams in eight different leagues in a span of eight seasons from 1949–1960.

Roberto Vargas (born February 24, 1941) is a Nicaraguan poet and political activist. He was born in Managua, Nicaragua and raised in the Mission District, San Francisco, where he became a prominent political activist. From 1974 through 1979, he taught Creative Writing at San Francisco State University.
He is best known for his work in the San Francisco Mission district during the Nicaraguan Revolution and bilingual poetry.
He graduated from Mission High School in 1958. "I graduated from Mission High School in 1958 and used to hang out in North Beach, going around to see all the poets," he says. Vargas attempted to have a career in boxing, but that ended shortly because of a detached retina that help him during the major drafts of young men to fight in Vietnam.
Vargas went to San Francisco State University, during the heavily active student strikes in 1968-1969. He was one of the students who demanded that the University establish an Ethnic Studies department.
