"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." - President Ronald Reagan

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.

We remember today Atanasio (Rigal) Perez, the pride of Ciego de Avila and member of the Baseball Hall of Fame. He was born in 1942.
Tony broke with the Cincinnati Reds in the summer of 1964. He went on to have a wonderful major league career: 2,777 games, 2,732 hits, 379 HR, 1,659 RBI and a very good .279 career batting average.
Tony’s career was more than numbers. He was the steady bat in a Reds’ team that won 4 NL titles and the World Series in 1975 and 1976.
Willie Stargell spoke for many of his fellow players:
““With men in scoring position and the game on the line…Tony’s the last guy an opponent wanted to see.””
Tony had many big hits for the Reds Machine in the 1970s. He is best remembered for a big homer in game 7 of the 1975 World Series. After playing, Tony was a coach and baseball executive.
