Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. -- Carl Sagan (Pale Blue Dot)
Certainly hate to hear about this. He was a true character of the game. He was actually a pretty ddecent pitcher for a short time with the Braves. I remember that I-285 incident very well too. The TBS broadcasters laughed about that one for years and gave him the nickname I-285. He even had it on the back of his warmup jacket, IIRC. RIP Pascual Perez. You made the game fun.

He was the last guy to throw the eephus pitch, no?
I thought about him last winter when I found myself on I-285.
It is on the whole probable that we continually dream, but that consciousness makes such a noise that we do not hear it. Carl Jung.
Didn't Pascual Perez also have a long-snap pick-off move, in which he would toss the ball between his legs to first?

My pop and I were just talking about him a week or two ago. Wow. RIP
Three have been arrested in this murder.
