1967 Topps #476 Tony Perez
About Tony Perez
Card #476 is a sixth-series card, and the only one in the 1967 Topps set that the Trading Card Database and Cardboard Connection both tag as a short print. What it sums up is a 1966 spent platooning at first base, 99 games, a .265 average, 4 home runs and 39 runs batted in. By the time that series reached store counters he had taken over at third base.
Tony Perez, born Atanasio Perez Rigal in 1942 in Cuba's Camaguey province, grew up working beside his father in a sugar mill and playing shortstop for the factory team. Cincinnati signed him in 1960 for no bonus beyond a plane ticket and a $2.50 exit visa. Erratic throwing pushed him off third base in the minors, and he was a first baseman when he won the Pacific Coast League's Most Valuable Player award at Triple-A San Diego in 1964. Moved back to third base in 1967 to make room for Lee May, he became the run producer at the center of the Big Red Machine, driving in 90 or more runs in eleven straight seasons and averaging better than 100 a year from 1970 through 1976. Teammates called him Big Dog. A seven-time All-Star, he hit the two-run homer off Bill Lee that began Cincinnati's comeback in Game Seven of the 1975 World Series, and won a second title in 1976. He moved on to Montreal, Boston and Philadelphia before closing his career with three more Cincinnati seasons through 1986: 2,732 hits, 379 home runs, 1,652 runs batted in. He later managed the Reds and the Marlins, and was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2000.
