About Marty Perez
Card #438 lists Perez with the San Francisco Giants. In March 1977 the Yankees acquired him to shore up their middle infield, but they then traded for Bucky Dent, and Perez finished the year with Oakland. His 1977 line across both clubs was 116 games and a .233 average, 105 of them at second base.
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.
