Perez's #374 lists him with Atlanta. After hitting well off the bench early in 1974, he became a frequent starter at second base, playing 102 of his 127 games there and 14 at shortstop. He hit .260 with two home runs and 34 RBI. He viewed 1973 and 1974 as the most enjoyable period of his big-league career.
Marty Perez was a glove-first shortstop and second baseman who played 10 major league seasons, 1969 to 1978, for the California Angels, Atlanta Braves, San Francisco Giants, New York Yankees and Oakland Athletics. Born in Visalia, California, he was quarterback and punter at Redwood High School and signed with the Angels in June 1964. He led Texas League shortstops in assists and double plays for the 1968 El Paso champions under Chuck Tanner, then led Pacific Coast League shortstops in double plays with 79 for Hawaii in 1969. He was the Braves' starting shortstop from 1971 to 1973 and their second baseman for the next two seasons, and he helped the 1971 Braves set a club record of 180 double plays. His best offensive year was 1973. He finished his career with Oakland and hit .246 with 22 home runs and 241 RBI in 931 games.
