Happy # 70 to Dennis Martinez

(P.S.  You can listen to my show.  If you like our posts, please look for ”Donate” on the right column of the blog page.)

We say happy birthday to Dennis Martinez who was born in Nicaragua on this day in 1954.  

From 1976 to 1997, Dennis was a very successful major league pitcher:  245 wins, 3.70 ERA, 122 complete games and a perfect game in 1991.

Dennis broke with the Orioles in 1976 and played for Baltimore in the 1979 and 1983 World Series.   

He was eventually traded to Montreal where he enjoyed some very good years with the Expos:  100-72 with a 3.06 ERA.

His 245 wins are # 2 among Latino pitchers.
