Pascual Pérez: Former MLB Pitcher Murdered During Home Invasion
Pascual Pérez, who played a decade in the Major Leagues, was found dead today, according to Spanish language newspapers. Pérez, 55, was murdered during an early morning robbery at his home in the Dominican Republic. Pérez pitched for the Pirates, Braves, Expos and Yankees, winning 67 games between 1980 and 1991. In 1992, Pérez was suspended from baseball for violating the drug policy.

RIP Perez. RIP Expos.

he violated the jeri curl policy too

I think I remember a story about him missing a start because he got lost on the way to stadium when he pitched for the Braves. Funny story at the time, but in hindsight it was probably the drugs

I didn’t know meth was big in Montreal in the 80s.

Is that icon in the bottom left photoshopped? Good job whoever did it – looks just like the icons Topps used to use.

IIRC, he was circling around on the Atlanta freeways and couldn’t figure out how to get off the freeways and to the stadium.

got four kids’ worth of halloween booty. me, going through it, with no one to stop me:
payday? nobody likes paydays (takes)
nestle crunch? kids don’t like those (takes)
baby ruth? they don’t even know baby maris (pockets)
whoppers? nobody likes malted milk balls (takes)

From Wiki:
“He often drew the ire of his opponents, using an imaginary finger gun to shoot opponents …”
November 1st, 2012 at 11:04 AM
the fuck? all those rawk but…
yea, these are gross.

Did you Halloween as Sandusky this year?!
November 1st, 2012 at 11:04 AM
if only the baseball ratings were higher, I feel like tragedies like this could be avoided.
November 1st, 2012 at 11:05 AM
Well this one is true. Disgusting.
November 1st, 2012 at 11:06 AM
i see we’ve formed an uneasy alliance on this issue…;
November 1st, 2012 at 11:07 AM
I concur.
RIP Pascual

He was entertaining as hell to watch. I think all of the Perez brothers had some form of quirk. Pascual’s look back at first between his legs was awesome.

i don’t usually agree with any of you but at least we can agree on this

hold your tongue, wench or mr. thundermaker here’s gonna start barkin’ fire.

“#pettycowards hates malted milk balls and finds asian women to be hideous” reads like a political attack ad that no one would ever believe.
November 1st, 2012 at 11:12 AM
i will treat san diego minus 7 as the lock of the century today and put as much as 50 dollars on it

“He often drew the ire of his opponents, using an imaginary finger gun to shoot opponents …”
Wow. Go Wiki.
November 1st, 2012 at 11:13 AM
Youtube has no videos of Perez rocking the Eephus pitch and that truly is sad. 80′s pitchers were awesome.
November 1st, 2012 at 11:13 AM
Also threw in some snickers minis and krackel (the crunch rip-off)
Threw away all the loose candy corn, why do people do that?
November 1st, 2012 at 11:14 AM
Has it occurred to you that maybe Mrs. Malted Milk does?
November 1st, 2012 at 11:14 AM
rex, i find asian malted milk balls delicious. but the right will gloss over that
November 1st, 2012 at 11:15 AM
I always see Luis Tiante in my head when the “Eephus pitch” is mentioned.
/ Didn’t Ted Williams once step out of the box to homer off one of those?
November 1st, 2012 at 11:16 AM
I saw the funniest political ad ever last night. The basic premise.. I cant even properly describe it for you. Just watch.
November 1st, 2012 at 11:16 AM
don’t sleep on Mr goodbar now
and i forgot paydays were no chocolate…peanuts and caramel do not go well with the blackest of coffee and souls
November 1st, 2012 at 11:16 AM
“Less hair. More medicare!”
I mean that’s just a great ad
November 1st, 2012 at 11:16 AM
I had completely forgotten about that. It was a running joke at the time, I think his teammates bought him a jacket with I-285 or whatever the highway was where he got lost emblazoned on the back.
November 1st, 2012 at 11:17 AM
I think you’re referring to Johnny Bench reaching his bat out and slapping a single during an intentional walk.

Possibly. Glen Davis definitely hit one off of Perez in Montreal in ’89.
That’s not even the most obscure memory I have.
November 1st, 2012 at 11:18 AM
louis tiant pitched to ted williams?
i miss tiant’s windup
November 1st, 2012 at 11:20 AM
Hernia’s filming a counter to this as I type.
Also, Ohio’s Senate race between Sherrod Brown and Josh Mandel is the most entertaining campaign I’ve ever seen. The attack ads are brutally amusing, with many attacking Mandel’s frat boy network of cronies.

Juan Marichal’s windup > Luis Tiant’s windup
November 1st, 2012 at 11:22 AM
Ted Williams famously hit a homer off of Rip Sewell’s (I think) eephus pitch. I believe it was in an All Star game, but I could be mistaken.
November 1st, 2012 at 11:23 AM
Because candy corn is disgusting
November 1st, 2012 at 11:23 AM
i just squeezed out a nasty eephus…bathroom smelled like an elephant covered in burnt hair trampled through an indian restaurant.
November 1st, 2012 at 11:24 AM
…far too many quasi-anchorman references in there.

is this with ball or bat?

regular candy corn is heavenly, but yes, the chocolate ones are quite nasty.

I think that was the one I was thinking of, Htown.

I miss the Sparky vs. Webfoot attack ads.
