We remember today Atanasio (Rigal) Perez, the pride of Ciego de Avila and member of the Baseball Hall of Fame.
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.
Perez was selected to The Hall of Fame in 2000.
