Pascual Perez!
The Perez brothers were two of my favorite Yankees in the early 1990s. Pascual was so entertaining, and Melido was quiet but really good.
The story about Perez getting lost is well known, but I did not know he had just gotten his driver's license that day. Certainly makes it a little more understandable. I also did not know that the Braves had been in a bad slump, but they won that day (with emergency starter Phil Niekro) and then the next day Perez won, the team went on a hot streak and credited the Perez incident with relaxing the team and setting them up for their division win.
I do wonder about the color choice for the Eskimo's fur hood, though.
Showing him driving past an Inuit in the snow looking for the Atlanta ballpark is pretty funny.
ReplyDeleteDidn't realize Melido and Pascual are brothers and hadn't heard that story about him getting lost. Glad it led to the Braves snapping out of a slump though.
