Pascual Perez found slain in home
"(Shoeless Joe Jackson's fall from grace is one of the real tragedies of baseball. I always thought he was more sinned against than sinning." -- Connie Mack
"I have the ultimate respect for Whitesox fans. They were as miserable as the Cubs and Redsox fans ever were but always had the good decency to keep it to themselves. And when they finally won the World Series, they celebrated without annoying every other fan in the country."--Jim Caple, ESPN (Jan. 12, 2011)Tags: None

Damn.
Before there were the Martinez brothers, there were the lesser successful Perez brothers. Both Pascual and Melido had the potential to have formidable careers.
Wasn't he part of a combined no-hitter? Topps printed his 1982 baseball card without a position, and I think that's still the most valuable error card of the set.

I always kinda thought he got a bad deal in that 1984 brawl. If I recall the Padres tryed throwing at him 3 or 4 times."(Shoeless Joe Jackson's fall from grace is one of the real tragedies of baseball. I always thought he was more sinned against than sinning." -- Connie Mack

The Padres were just starting to get good, and the Braves of course felt that some intimidation was in order.It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shakes, the shakes become a warning. It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.

Originally posted by Mr. Laser Beam View PostIf you recall, before the game had even started, Perez was openly bragging that he was going to hit the first Padre he faced. Which of course he did (Alan Wiggins).

I read yesterday that he had just recieved his MLB pension check and they said that may have been a motive for the robbery. Makes me wonder how much those checks are."(Shoeless Joe Jackson's fall from grace is one of the real tragedies of baseball. I always thought he was more sinned against than sinning." -- Connie Mack

Originally posted by Mr. Laser Beam View PostThe whole point of throwing at any batter is to hit him (especially since it was revenge for Perez hitting Wiggins). And you know Dick Williams wasn't about to let it go until that happened."(Shoeless Joe Jackson's fall from grace is one of the real tragedies of baseball.
